Thanks for pointing me to this thread. One comment from a "never-implemented-a-gui-used-by-other-people developer": I understand that one has to balance effort and outcome, and there are more interesting things to add to the program. Also, implementing a gui always attracts people to give advice or to complain. But I would think as everyone has to move the pop-ups after requesting them, strictly speaking this would be considered a flaw (bug?) in the UI design. But I don't want to start a discussion here, as I found my solution: I implemented a small external programm, which polls Windows and as soon as one of the pop-ups pop up, it will be moved to a specified location depending on the actual cursor position. Not pretty, but fits my workflow and it works.

My usage of this neat "little" tool is to quickly fix up (manually crop, lighten-up and rotate) pictures in a "factory like" style. I have some scripts which iterate through specified directoryíes and depending on creating conditions Paint.Net starts up with a picture loaded, I do the edit, save, and the cycle starts again. Works nicely and I wouldn't be able to do this as fast with any other tool. But has anyone else noticed that all the smart little pop-ups, e.g. to rotate by degree, pop up exactly in the centre of the picture you want to edit? I always (!) have to move them to a location where they don't hide the interesting parts of the picture to edit. Definitely not a show-stopper, but somehow I don't see a reason, why it has be exactly the middle of the picture. Ok, maybe I missed something, and maybe this is not relevant for the rest, as I assume not too many users have edited more the 50.000 pictures over the years with this tool. But I just wanted to "complain" Thanks for the great work !!
