If your right-click context menu "Edit" association is no longer correct after an upgrade to this version, you are not alone! In such case, you have to use DefaultProgramsEditor to re-associate right-click context menu "Edit" entry back to Paint.net, for every file type... I don't understand why an upgrade has removed its own previous association AND the installer won't show the options present on a clean install, to associate all image types with Paint.net. The steps are: Get portable version of DefaultProgramsEditor. >File Type Settings >Context Menu ...for every relevant image file extension: >Edit Edit Selected Command... Set Program Path to: "C:\Program Files\paint.net\paintdotnet.exe" "%1" Path above is correct only for x64 software version on a 64-bit OS. x32 version of software installed on a 64-bit OS path will be different! Fixed!

Since the option to "set as default editor" is no longer in installer, the only way I could fix this was with "Default Programs Editor", manually setting Paint.NET as Editor for image files (per each file extension). I have long switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon at home and left Winblows in the dust. At work, I am resisting them changing my computer to Winblows 10+. I will stick to 7, no thanks to any later versions. It sounds like I need to save 4.3.7 or whatever latest one you release and keep using that for foreseable future. And disable check for updates inside software. I did not see any links to any older versions or any offline installers. If you say it is there, I will go and take a look. I DO need to archive a good offline version on my hard drive. OK, I really liked this software, right until the last update. Now I had to go and re-set it as editor, file extension by file extension. By "I can't see offline installers" I meant from your main website / webpage. It is a rare occasion that I had to visit this forum (usually to get a plugin). OK, now I see you provide offline and portable versions. Great, I have downloaded all of them for safekeeping. Thanks.

Rick, I really hate this 4.3.7 and I regret having installed it. I have loved Paint.NET up to this point. 1) I am on a corporate network, I DO NOT want an online installer. Before you say "this is the last version, goodbye Windows 7 users, you MUST give us an offline, full installer. Most online installers fail over corporate network. 2) After this install, in Windows 7, when right-clicking on a file, and selecting Edit, MSPaint launches. I thought a reinstall would solve the issue, I have reinstalled Paint.NET, but 2a) You no longer include "set Paint.NET as default editor" option in installer 2b) My issue was not fixed on reinstall. Neither could I find an option in settings somewhere to set this as default editor for image files. You screwed me with this version. I am going to downgrade if I can. Please fix!!!
