Star (*) character on the window title (which shows the file has changed and needs to be re-encoded) shouldn't be there when I click or navigate to "Open Image" in the history panel. Because the image is already at the original state (no need for re-encode). I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended design. MS Paint, also behaves like this 🤔 I might be missing something obvious, couldn't put my finger on it

Steps to reproduce: Open an image. Draw something on it. Undo to original state back. Close the file or app. A dialog shows up and asks whether if you'd like to save the file or not. The message says: "XXXXX.jpg has unsaved changes..." even though it hasn't. There is also another issue somebody reported a while ago. I'm able to reproduce this as well.

Also, according to your last diagnostic post, you're still using old Intel GPU drivers. I would make sure it really gets updated. I had posted the driver link on the previous page.

@ChemicalCreator Please post the diagnostic information found within paint.net. Settings -> Diagnostics -> Copy to clipboard.

Interesting. It doesn't look like a bug to me. It shouldn't be double-clickable. Because it's not a full range RGB swatch like others. The documentation also clarifies this in the following lines:

There is a great answer here. https://stackoverflow.com/a/5925219

This plugin uses the same algorithm as @DataDink's Color Cut plugin. But it was not working with the recent versions of Paint.net and it became abandonware at some point. So I decided to rewrite it ( Luckily, it was published under MIT license which gives me right to do so.) Color Clearer seems to be using a different approach. Use the one you prefer

Hi everyone, I rewrote the @DataDink's "Color Cut" plugin to make it compatible with Paint.net v4.3.10 and (hopefully) later. License: MIT Description: How To Use: Current version: 1.0.5 Changes: * Improved performance * CodeLab script available Download Link:ColorCut.zip CodeLab Script: The original plugin page (which is now obsolete and incompatible):

I rewrote it for CodeLab. Please feel free to do improvements on it. Description of options: Color Threshold: The max deviation in color from the background a pixel can have to be affected. Shade Threshold: The max deviation in shade from the background a pixel can have to be affected. Alpha Falloff: The ratio at which the alpha channel will be tapered off.

Here is the DLL: http://web.archive.org/web/20201006183409/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataDink/DinkPDN/master/Binaries/ColorCut/Latest/ColorCut.dll It won't work with the current release of Paint.net unless someone fixes it.

You seem to have a mobile processor so I thought you might be using a notebook with brand/model. If so, they must have a support web page that you can find all the driver updates for your computer.

I can only see limited information about your hardware. You should check your notebook manufacturer's website. Generally true, Windows Update handles the updates itself. But this process is a bit slow when it comes to non-Microsoft products/hardware.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19344/intel-graphics-windows-dch-drivers.html

Try updating your GPU drivers. You're using almost a year old Intel GPU driver (30.0.100.9805, 2021/8).

*Slash Yup 😹 You shouldn't need to add ImportWindowsDesktopTargets. It's enabled by default if you add UseWPF. You can confirm this by looking at the .targets file: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/master/src/Tasks/Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets#L1160

You have space characters. It needs to be exactly like this (case-insensitive): <UseWpf>true<UseWpf> Not like this: <UseWpf> true <UseWpf>

I suggest ignore or suppress this warning. If your project doesn't really use WinForms or WPF, don't reference them in your project. You might end up accidentally (thanks to IntelliSense) using types in them and having actual WPF or WinForms dependency.

Probably the lack of window icon causes a smaller file.

@Ego Eram Reputo @AndrewDavid Looks like the issue has been fixed in the latest Visual Studio 2022 (version 17.1.4).

I have a similar problem as well. This is another reason why I target .NET 5/Paint.NET 4.300. Failure has occurred while loading a type. Instances of this error (1) 1. Hide Call Stack at PaintDotNet.Runtime.CleanupManager..cctor() Error details in Windows Forms output (Paint.NET 4.3.10): [12:27:12.1992851] REQUEST FAILURES: Sessions/InitializeRootComponent Microsoft.DotNet.DesignTools.Client.DesignToolsServerException: The type initializer for 'PaintDotNet.PdnBaseForm' threw an exception. ---> Microsoft.DotNet.DesignTools.Client.DesignToolsServerException: The type initializer for 'PaintDotNet.Runtime.CleanupManager' threw an exception. ---> Microsoft.DotNet.DesignTools.Client.DesignToolsServerException: Failure has occurred while loading a type. --- End of inner exception stack trace --- --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

The value shown in Image->Resize panel is the raw size of the image without any compression. This can be calculated with this formula: Pixel Width x Pixel Height x 4 in bytes. You'll need that much amount of memory available to resize operation to be successful. When you save an image, actual file size will differ from format to format and being lossy or lossless. This shows you the projected file size:

@Scruffy Because you're saving with PNG format. PNG format doesn't have quality setting. You need to select a lossy format (like JPEG, WEBP, AVIF etc...) to quality setting appear.

Here is a method involving no plugin: 1.- Create the text in a transparent layer. 2.- Select the text using Magic Wand tool with Flood Mode: Global 3.- Switch to background layer (flowers) without modifying the selection 4.- Cut Or Copy the selection to clipboard (Press CTRL+X or CTRL+C) 5.- Paste into new layer (CTRL+Shift+V) 6.- Remove or mark as invisible other layers.

@fnab_West You're probably using an old version of Paint.NET. ⚙ Settings -> Updates -> Check Now.

You can try this plugin.
