[no thumbnails in windows explorer]

Windows explorer only shows the paint.net icon in my folder of saved images. Is there any way to show the thumbnails?

[square edge native brush]

I have often wished that paint.net at least had a native brush other than the rounded end.  Well it does..... use the "line/curve" tool (lower, right hand corner of tool pallet)  as a brush. It produces a square end with all the attributes of the regular "brush".

 

I hate to admit that it has taken me 3 years to figure this out.

[larger color swatches]

I would love to see larger color swatches on the color pop-up screen. They are currently so small that it is hard to get a good idea of the real color.

 

 

[reduce color depth]

Irfanview has a function called "reduce color depth". It is used to reduce the number of separate colors on a photograph or other image. It would be nice if that feature could be incorporated into Paint.net. If the same effect can already be achieved, let me know how.

[when native brushes??]

any idea when we will see in update that includes brushes as an integral part of the program? 

[Square Brush?]

I believe the current plan for Paint.NET v4.3.x is to completely revamp the Brush Tool for generic brush support.

So, why spend the time adding a Square brush, when much of that work will be thrown out when the Brush Tool is revamped?

 

For the time being, just use a plugin:

I use paint.net and krita (for brushes) for my artwrok. Paint.net is simple and krita is needlessly complicated. When PN has brushes it will be perfect. I hope it is soon.

[Square Brush?]

I realize that it may be some time before traditional brushes are incorporated into Paint.net.

How about a square brush to compliment the existing round one while we wait for the real thing? Would that be a lot of trouble?

[icons instead of thumbnails]

I have paint.net files on my hard drive and on my cloud drive (one drive). I have a windows 10 laptop. Windows explorer displays my paint.net files as thumbnails on my hard drive but only displays icons on the cloud drive. How do I make explorer display thumbnails on the cloud drive?
