I seem to have developed a slight hitch in my get along with Viper. For some reason I can no longer execute the file. Every time I try and launch Viper I get the pop up window you see below. I haven't changed a thing on the laptop since I ran Viper last. The only thing that I did was shut the laptop down. I usually just let my Linux machines run for days and even weeks at a time without a shutdown or reboot. With company here all weekend I shut it down and moved it out of the way. Now, it's a no go on executing the file. It's no biggie. I'm sure there won't be a problem when I get R12 installed. I can run Viper without fail on my Mint 20.2 laptop and it has also been shutdown. Nothing changed on that laptop, just this one. Weird. Don't fret about trying to figure out what happened. I'll just continue to use Firefox until I get R12.

Many thanks smhardesty :)


That was one of my first ever attempts at high speed shutter photography to freeze the waves and yea.. still need practice but I was pleased with the first batch there lol
Taken on a horrid day with Storm Eunice passing overhead.. As i was taking this photo.. we had sustained ground level wind speeds of 62mph / 100kmh with gusts at 91mph / 146kmh live recorded. I was part sheltered but still getting slammed by the wind and that photo was with a light Sony A6400 mirrorless camera and the Tamron 70-300mm f4.5-6.3 di iii rxd at full 300mm zoom (11.5inch fully extended) and i was handheld.. I didnt have my tripod or anything with me and neither the lens or the camera have stabilisation built in lmao..

I'll be experimenting with Viper later today. I'm really curious to see what Viper uses on my experimental laptop. I'll report back after I get a chance to mess around with it today.

cheiron, to me, at least, that photo is made even more dramatic because of the B&W exposure. I've done a lot of B&W as well as sepia. Sometimes B&W and sepia speak louder than full color. Nice shot!

So enjoying the photos! The forum is FUN again. May I steal some for my randomwallpaper file?

leeine, you are more than welcome to use any photo I post. In fact, if the image posted on here is too small for a decent wallpaper, let me know and I'll send you a full rez photo.

profile folder.. that was a tough one to find.. i "think" i may have found it.. home folder, up, up, should be in /  .... then i went to tmp. there was viper stuff there.. but i am not sure if that is all there is... please let me know if you find other places!! I would like to know this one too lmao

so... in linux .. ctrl + alt + del to open task manager..
You will see Viper's app image sat there at 2.6MB


vipers usage should be the QtWebEngineProcess lines...


This was on my pc.. 1 core of a Ryzen 7 3700X 4.2ghz and about 8gb 3200MHZ DDR4 ram, give or take, on a vm box. only viper open.. running speedtest

I can get into your photos, easily. There is a LOT to be said for shooting and printing pure, unaltered photos. When I first started into photography years ago, I shot with several different Sony 35mm cameras. I know I cling to the past too much, but I still think some of my better stuff was taken back then on film. I started editing with Gimp as a last resort to seemingly all the other photographers in this area showing HIGHLY edited and altered photos. My pure subject photos couldn't hold up to all the computer generated photos all those guys were showing. I draw the line at altering photos.

I threw a fit at a show when the winner was a completely computer generated print. It could NOT still be called a photo. What the guy did was take a photo of an old graveyard. Then he went NUTS with PhotoShop and CREATED the rest of the shot. He had taken the photo during daylight hours so he first darkened the shot to make it appear night time. Then he added lightning bolts from another photo. Then he added in some rain, and finally he created an image that looked a little like a ghost. NONE of that was actually there when he took the photo. I just lost my temper over that.

Yeah, I have a folder on one of these computers that is labeled "Objects". I'd like to see more of your stuff whenever you get the time.
