[paint.net 5.0 is now available!]

Yup, that really helped!  I didn't turn off Controlled Folder Access completely but I changed it to allow paint.net.  I had rolled back to version 4.2 so now I should probably be okay upgrading to 5.0.

 

Thanks so much for your help!  I never would have figured out how to fix the problem.

[paint.net 5.0 is now available!]

Since upgrading to 5.0, I'm having problems writing out a .pdn file using either "save" or "save as".  I tried rolling back to an earlier version but that no longer can write either.

 

The error indicates a "file not found" (even using "save as").  Why would the software be looking for an existing file with a "save as"?

 

Is there something I can do to correct this?  It's made paint.net completely unusable.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide!
