Looks very cool, but seems to require both wine AND mono :(

Nope, no Wine dependency, just Mono. The Linux package is very young so it has some bugs still, I'm still figuring it out.

EDIT: Missing (unlisted in the .deb metadata for now) dependencies include: - libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil - libmono-system-core4.0-cil - libSDL-mixer1.2debian

I'll update the package ASAP.

Is there somewhere you'd like us to report Linux issues? As it stands, the model creation is unusable, because when clicking the center mouse button, it spins very rapidly. The alternative (alt+left click) is the "grab window" shortcut in X, so that won't work either.

Yup, I'll fix this one ASAP. You can report other bugs at http://bitbucket.org/sparklinlabs/craftstudio - thanks a lot!

Awesome...thanks. Went ahead and bought a copy in anticipation of the fix ;-)

My experience so far: http://pastie.org/7724611

Tried installing mono-complete, but still not working.

And those packages are installed: http://pastie.org/7724640

Never mind. Fixed by:

$ apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2
