FH V7 on Crossover on Linux issues

Just a short update regarding FHV7 in Linux via Crossover following on from Too many spouses shown. (22173).

I found my first glitch last night when trying to add photos to individuals in my family tree. I click on the "media" tab, and "add media from files" and it works ok if I navigate to the image file in my computer and manually add it to FH7, but if I try to drag & drop the image file into FH7 the whole program freezes and then closes. I'm not sure if it's a Family Historian bug, a Crossover bug, or a Linux bug, but I hope it gets ironed out eventually.

That is typical of the kinds of issues that arise with Crossover/WINE because it is not a fully complete emulation of Windows.

IMO you need to raise the issue with Crossover support first, and perhaps with FH support second.
It is unlikely to get fixed otherwise.

Other Crossover users here may be able to give better advice &/or may confirm the same issue.

BTW: I've started a new thread for this different topic.
