The more I learn to use this on the Linux box, the more I am grateful that Pierre Gougelet makes it available. This thing fills in some gaps and does some things better than various proggies and command-line utilities do.Steven W wrote: 2021-03-25 22:33 XnView

You may have noticed this in my Raspberry Pi screenshot, it makes me miss Irfanview a little less on Linux. There's a Windows version too, if the MP (multi-platform) version runs a bit flaky on Windows, check under "Products" on the site and get the 'Classic' version. Oh yeah, I think it was version 1.50 that works on Windows 3.x.

Huhuhu,
I was looking for something similar to Microsoft Edit for DOS, but to run on Linux.

Very nice! Have you seen what they've done to notepad in Windows 11? I watched YouTube vids... my God, the horror. Why can't they just LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE? There was wordpad already, they could done that stuff to wordpad and kept notepad untouched but they removed wordpad and fucking up notepad. Disgusting.Steven W wrote: 2025-11-22 00:58 Huhuhu,

Perhaps I can't claim *I* find this useful. Not on Windows at the moment, but those of you who liked the old Project Dogwaffle and are running fairly modern Windows and *fairly good* hardware might find this interesting:

Your computer's processor should be recent enough that it can run AVX2 extensions. Shader level 6 is required for GPU functions.
Obviously, they're hoping this results in sales of the newest version.
What is the Howler edition?
The Howler edition has everything that you can find in PD: Project Dogwaffle essentially is PD Howler. Or you could say PD Howler is the incarnation of Project Dogwaffle. It started simply as Project Dogwaffle 20+ years ago. Some release of version 3.x became known as PD Pro. It carried that distinction through more reelases, namely v4 and v5.... Later though, around version 6 we released it as PD Howler and added a lower-cost option, the Artist edition, for those who don't do animation or video...
Why call it Howler?
All in all, Howler is howling fast. Heavily optimized and designed on low end systems, due mostly to starving-artist budget realities, you'll likely find that runs very smoothly on your desktop or laptop Windows PC too. This software does not require high-end gaming systems, though it's nice to have a dream machine:
Graphics card: If you have a GPU with many Cuda cores or threads, great! We render some 3D on GPU
Main processor: If you have a CPU with many cores, such as 8, 12, or even 16 CPU cores, plus hyper-threaded to doubling up to 32-64 logical cores on Intel or similarly on AMD threads, you're in heaven. A bunch of our tools are multi-threaded, go for it.
Disk: if you have an SSD or similarly super-fast hard drive, great. You may not even notice the delay in saving a long animation, between saving to disk vs. saving to memory, almost the same.
We now use AVX for some of the operations. It makes things much faster. But if you have a really old PC, this may not work for you. Try the demo first, once available.
About AVX: if you run Windows on a very old processor such as Intel Core 2 Duo, it may not have support for AVX. But, it may hopefully have SSE2. For PD Howler, we now offer a version that that's built for such older processors, as it uses SSE2 instead of depending on the faster AVX.
