There are a number of uses of this. When you download a plug-in and want to load it for example, or when you kept it running for too long and the selection is unresponsive/doesn't animate. The prompt to load unsaved/open files is useful, for when you have to shut down Windows quickly. Of course it's sometimes better to save and lose all the mess of things you weren't using anymore, but when you have open many tabs like in a web browser, people love this feature. Does someone have interesting ideas about the functionality of this feature?

Oh wow, that's a lot. Cheaper than 4 letter domains, but still a lot!

This post is exclusively for the site owners. First, I always make the mistake of always typing paint.net in the url bar and find something else. I also think paint.net deserves the first spot. The paint.net domain was previously owned by something called Warrenpaint I believe. But now it looks open, with a GoDaddy screen. Clicking on Get this domain says that it's in-use in dutch, but you can still get it for €60,99 plus commission. So dear site owners, are you gonna do anything with it? Thank you for reading!

Sorry, I don't understand. A re-write of the app to winui 3, or of paint.net itself, was UWP a big re-write then? But I do take your word, because now I think of it, it does seem like a huge overkill.

.Net core is the future and UWP is deprecated in favour of WinUI3, it looks beautiful and has a lot features Paint.net uses available. Fun-fact: WinUI3 is open-source and cross-platform. What do you think of this?

Thank you for being clear that it's about something else. I just wanna use it for creating games (I usually work with Unreal Engine). Of course I can work around it, but when you have to repeat steps with multiple layers, it becomes annoying. I'm not a leader of a team so don't know what it is like to decide which changes will and will not come in the final product. I can't provide screenshots why I want it, it just seems logical, it works both ways. I also want to apologize if it seems like I'm in a hurry, you have probably a lot more on your shoulders. Thank you for your official response, have a nice day!

Sorry for the Necrobump, but when I compare technical aspects to time, I just see an image editor that's to stubborn (aren't we all stubborn sometimes) to add a usual average blend mode. Designing a file format that has no room for renewing seems like a dead end (but if selected blend mode reverts to normal while saving to pdn, that problem is already solved). Can't see what's weird about an average blending mode. Should I stop hoping for this? Thank you for your reading, have a nice day!

Dear Community of the Paint.NET Forums, Thank you very much for replying to me😊. Eram, I really like the plugin for what it does, but it doesn't work the same, thus slows the progress a bit down if you have to use very much. Trevor, I understand that, since I also use old Windows in Virtual Machine and respect there are some issues, but I'm happy thet opening new files with old pograms doesn't crash and i need it mainly for merging layers, however, u can always call it an experimental feature because supporting it is a little standard. Reptillian, that is an interesting point, again the displaying of pdn files with the new blend mode is a thing, I do understand that the programming of the blend mode is very different than I may think. I am a beginner programmer after all. I wanna point out again, my only purpose is merging, so if it is saved as a pdn, I wouldn't mind the average blend mode being set to default, this is the friendliest way of adding new experimental blend modes anyway. Thank you all for giving me some insight and tips. Sincerely, Kevin Crans

Dear Community of the Paint.Net Forums, I really like the new updates, but there is still one issue concerning me. The Average Blend Mode still hasn't been implemented yet, it's so obvious, still it isn't there yet. I really respect the time of progress, but this is a standard thing. I don't care about the rounding of the values. This is so easy in my head, so please do this. Thank you for your time and interest, I look forward to your answer. Sincerely, Kevin Crans

Dear Zagna, This is a bug that I also saw using a notebook pointing stick, on 100% zoomed in of course. (Also when go in windows 10 to settings>easy_of_access>interaction>mouse and turn on mouse keys, now I think of it) But I meant holding the left mouse-click and then holding the down key and then holding the right key at the same time with the pencil. This draws a horizontal line first and then a vertical line instead of a line diagonally right-down, this also happens without clicking with hovering. Sorry, most of the times I report bugs I usually explain a little more. Thank you both for your support! I hope these both issues will be fixed and see you later. Sincerely, Kevin Crans

Dear Paint.Net, When I try to use the arrow keys to draw a diagonal, it just goes straight to the direction of the latest key pressed. Since with free mouse drawing, you can also draw diagonally without triggering the pixels around it, so it should also be possible with the arrow keys, so I see this as a bug. Tank you for listening! Sincerely, Kevin Crans

Dear Trevor, Thanks for the tip! Taking it from the clipboard is actually a really good feature, but I'm not planning to merge it yet, first I'd like to save it as a pdn, and have Average selected in the Blending Mode as preview, so I have later the possibility to add layers and then decide which I wanna blend first, but it does what I needed and I'm happy with that for now. But some of these blending modes especially Average are essential, especially with the fact that there are already so many options in the Blending Mode menu makes it worth waiting for, so that makes two of us. I hope that this idea will be thought trough and have a nice day! Sincerely, Kevin Crans

Hello guys, Thank you for your responses! I have previously already seen this plugin, the plugin uses a different menu, but according to your recommendations I'll sure give it a try. It's nice to know that there's a chance the feature will be implemented in the future, so thanks for giving an update about that. For now, I hope this Plug-In will do the job. Have a nice day. Sincerely, Kevin Crans

Dear reader, My name is Kevin Crans and I would like to merge 2 layers down based of the average between the two. Apart from the whole variety of Blending Modes in the Layer Properties, it looks like Average is not included while it would become really useful if it was. You see, when you take the average of 2 layers and merge them by average, it doesn't matter which is on top, so you don't have to worry about that. The Formula would be:"((red of layer a + 1)+(red of layer b + 1))/ 2 - 1", and so for green, blue and alpha (and also for the opacity of the layer properties). The only problems there could be is that if you want to merge multiple layers, the most details that get lost are the one of the first merge, because you can just merge 2 layers at the time. However I think it's reasonable and a necessary function so I decided to Create a new topic at this forum. It would be great if this feature could be possible, if not native than in a plugin that does the same thing. Thank you for your attention and I hope I'll hear from you soon. Sincerely, Kevin Crans
