Hi guys,
I've just been editing an image for about 45 minutes and it's almost finished however I used the 'Content Aware Fill' plugin (made by Nicholas Hayes / null54 I think) and the little window has just been stuck on the "finishing" message for like 10 minutes now (and Paint.NET is completely unresponsive). Because I am in fact an idiot, I have not saved this edit at all so if I close Paint.NET I'll lose it.
Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow cancel the current operation that the plugin is carrying out right now without closing Paint.NET so that I can save my picture or perhaps if there's a temporary folder somewhere on my computer that contains the currently active session and photo? I have tried going into my clipboard but unfortunately I haven't copied the whole image at all since I started editing it.
I've just had a look online however all the topics I've found refer to saving a photo after the program has already crashed. Since Paint.NET is still open right now and is just in this infinite finishing loop it does seem possible there still might be a way for me to salvage this picture! I'll keep it open in the background for as long as possible so even if you reply a few hours after I'm posting this hopefully I'll still have it open. I'm using the Windows Store version of the program on 4.2.8.
Thanks for reading!
Is there a way to cancel an operation started by a plugin on an unsaved image?

Hi Pixey. Sorry for the late reply! The very first thing I tried was closing the window with the corner button and that did nothing as Paint.NET itself seems pretty unresponsive. And as stated above, I can't close Paint.NET down otherwise I'll lose all the work I've done since I never saved it. The plugin has somehow rendered PDN completely immobile I think. I'll keep it open until tomorrow and let you all know if there's any changes.
