Yeah I was only asking for diagnostic reasons -- I'm not suggesting you should or need to keep that configuration You may also check to see if you have any multimonitor- and/or window- management type of software installed. They often cause weird issues. ATI Hydravision for instance, is still bundled with AMD's Radeon drivers for some dumb reason, and same for NVIDIA equivalent with their Quadro drivers. Like c'mon, Windows has had that functionality built-in since Windows 98, or at least XP for sure ...

Can't restore Colors window
Rick Brewster replied to Tiamariacat's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
Yeah if you have a Windows menu then you're probably using 3.5 (or even earlier). You need to install the latest version, which is currently 4.2.14. -
Okay; I can put the property back with an [Obsolete] attribute
-
Okay thanks for reporting that, I'll make sure it's fixed pronto

This is on the (infinitely long) TODO list. For now, File->Exit followed by relaunching the app is the way to accomplish this. I've been hesitant to add this feature because it could be pretty easy to click on accidentally.

Multithreading incrementing offset pixels
Rick Brewster replied to Reptillian's topic in Plugin Developer's Central
If you want to do your own multithreading, specify RenderingSchedule = EffectRenderingSchedule.None when creating your EffectOptions in your constructor. Then your Render method will be called precisely 1 time and it will be given all of the ROIs (rectangle/region of interest). -
These are some popular fixes and additions 😁 Hopefully the alpha goes smoothly and a final release will be out soon!

This is a small update that improves some quality-of-life issues, and fixes some important crashes due to mishandling of some non-fatal DirectX errors. To get this update, make sure you have "Also check for pre-release (beta) versions" enabled in Settings, and then click on the Check Now button. (Unfortunately alpha/beta releases are not currently available for the Microsoft Store version of the app). You can also download and install this build directly: https://www.getpaint.net/files/zip/test/paint.net.4.215.7683.6519.install.zip Changes since 4.2.14:

Chage Default Save Directory
Rick Brewster replied to mkennedy's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
What, no? Use the Quick Access feature that's literally built-in to Windows. Look it up. Don't bump old threads like this. This thread is 14 years old! You risk being banned if you do this again -- please read the rules. -
Where are Paint.NET's thumbnails saved?
Rick Brewster replied to Viraxor's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
You can write a simple C# / LinqPad script to decode the thumbnail. base64 -> byte[], then wrap in a MemoryStream, then use Image.FromStream(). (it's just a PNG) -
1px wide circles are asymmetrical
Rick Brewster replied to VL4DST3R's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
It's a long-standing issue that I just haven't addressed yet. It's more complicated than you'd think because the Shape rendering code has to handle floating point, not just integer, coordinates, as well as arbitrary 3x2 matrix transforms. Detecting that a pixel-aligned circle is being drawn isn't as straightforward as I'd hoped. -
paint.net 4.2.14 is now available!
Rick Brewster replied to Rick Brewster's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
4.2.15 development is slow right now because of the holidays, I'm moving across the country soon, and I've just needed a bit of a break. An alpha should be coming soon. Just make sure to have "Also check for pre-release..." enabled in Settings -> Updates. -
Broken layers move in 4.2.14 from menu
Rick Brewster replied to AlexDolmatov's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
Nope, not anything If the app boots up and works, repairing it should have no effect except in some ultra-rare (and only hypothetical so far) scenarios. -
paint.net 4.2.14 is now available!
Rick Brewster replied to Rick Brewster's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
This feature has been added for the 4.2.15 release. It's available on the Magic Wand, Paint Bucket, and Recolor tools. -
Why won't Delete (or Cut) antialias?
Rick Brewster replied to anderpainter's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
The "selection quality" (aliased vs. antialiased) affects how the selection is rendered, it doesn't change the selection itself. You can see the difference if you zoom in on a non-rectilinear/non-"pixelated" selection and toggle the toolbar button. Rectilinear means axis-aligned line segments, aka only up, down, left, right and only 90 degree angles. Pixelated is a PDN specific term (in the code, never seen in the UI) that means that all vertices are on integer (whole pixel) coordinates; it's a superset of rectilinear. In the code it's mostly used for a whole bunch of performance a -
I think Photoshop solves this by changing the mouse cursor to have an X, and if you try to click/draw on the layer it pops up an error. But, I'm with @Ego Eram Reputo on this: it's just part of the learning curve. It would require quite a bit of work to change this and there hasn't been many reports of this. It's certainly possible I just don't see it rising to the top of the priority list any time soon.

Broken layers move in 4.2.14 from menu
Rick Brewster replied to AlexDolmatov's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
Only seems to be broken when there's only 2 layers 🤔 -

Rick Brewster replied to AlexDolmatov's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
Repair tool is only for fixing a broken installation. This is just something that doesn't work -

Rick Brewster replied to AlexDolmatov's topic in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports
This is also not working for me ... I'll make sure it's fixed in the next update. Thanks for reporting this! -
Brush Factory v2.0 (August 8th, 2020)
Rick Brewster replied to Joshua Lamusga's topic in Plugins - Publishing ONLY!
The name of this folder is localized (translated), so that suggestion will only work for English. I would have them click on Open Palettes Folder and see how well that works. It will automatically create all the folders if possible:
