PDN doesn´t open images

Hi,

I´m running Vistax86 SP1 (.NET 3.5 SP1), PDN 3.35

I was running PDN as admin with a blank image and clicked "Edit" in Windows Explorer Shell on a PNG. PDN came in front, but the image did not open, this doesn´t happen if I don´t run PDN as admin.

You said the image was a blank image.

Mabye a blank image which is the same resolution as PDN's default? :?

The solution is to not run Paint.NET as admin. What you are seeing is normal and correct behavior -- Explorer is running at normal privilege and as such cannot send messages to a higher privilege process.

Why would you deactivate UAC? That's the wrong solution. If anything just disable the UAC prompts. That's what I've done on my system. Plus, why would you need to run Paint.NET as admin anyway?

Because I need to be able to save in %program files% and because I recognized some Problems when processes are virtualized and when they are running with admin privileges, they aren´t.
