I'm tying to download PictoDS and ComicBookDS, but I can't find the linux version of PictoDS. The cbds.free.fr site is down i think.

If anyone has a copy or a mirror, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Thanks,

I found that before I posted, but I didn't want to signup.  In the end, I signed up anyway, since I couldn't find any other sources.

When the site put up the notice about going down, I used WebReaper to grab a copy of the whole site, including the downloads.  The page navigation isn't recreated fully, but at least I've got the most important parts.

I've also got older versions if requested, though 3.0 and 2.2 should be as far back as anyone needs.

Yes. I am still a linux newb.

So before I was still able to run PictoDS but it would have errors in resizing the pictures - it wouldnt resize them and freeze.

I'm in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy

This is the terminal that is seen.

Pretty strange.... Don't know why it wont work.
I have issues with other editors like FFTA2 0.6.8a also - it loads but the menus dont work...

Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[dantheman]

Well, it appears to be creating a temp directory, putting images in there, and then performing operations on them (resizing, extracting, etc).  However in your case, it appears that either it can't access the temp files for some reason or they're not getting created in the first place, so Java throws an error when it can't find the data it's expecting.

No clue how to fix it though =/
