15 hours ago, MikeP83 said:Yet, if I use "Snip & Sketch" to obtain the screenshot, there is no distortion. It pastes into Paint.net at the exact same size as was snipped. The problem is, usually I am in Outlook and the "Screenshot" function is readily available to me, much easier than having to open Snip & Sketch from the taskbar or start menu.
You can use WinKey + Shift + S to use Snip&Sketch. That's pretty convenience.

This isn't actually a new issue. I've had a bug filed for awhile. Thanks though!

For example, this post is directly next to yours and has the right solution ... https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/116529-error-during-installation/
Please don't invent your own solution. It will just break things further.

I have no idea why you did that. The solution to the MSI error is well known. You will still have problems updating to newer versions, you haven't actually fixed anything.

Closing this thread. New version:
-
This is a hotfix for a few important issues that have come to light with the 4.2.11 release.
If you’re using the Windows Store release, you should get the update automatically within the next 24 hours. You can also force an update check by following these instructions.
For the Classic release, you should be offered the update automatically within the next week or so. You can get the update sooner by going to ⚙ Settings → Updates → Check Now. You can also download and install it directly from the website.
Changes since 4.2.11:
- Fixed an error that was preventing some old PDN images from loading (reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/116501-error-opening-older-pdn-files/)
- Fixed a crash in the new selection outline renderer (due to misaligned Push/PopAxisAlignedClip calls)
- Changed saving to use the ReplaceFile Win32 API, which improves its compatibility
- Fixed an EndOfStreamException error that prevented some JPEGs from opening (thanks @null54 for the fix!)
Enjoy!

This is a hotfix for a few issues that have come to light with the 4.2.11 release.
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 install this build directly: https://www.getpaint.net/files/zip/test/paint.net.4.212.7453.40940.install.zip

If all goes well, I plan to finalize and publish the 4.2.12 update sometime this weekend.

Try this hotfix for now:

Here's a build with a hotfix:
Install that and this will be fixed. The fix will also be a part of the final/public release of version 4.2.12, coming soon.
This issue was only affecting PDN images saved with Paint.NET v3.5.8 or earlier (AFAICT).

I'm working on a hotfix for this, stay tuned

You can't install Paint.NET to an external disk, whether it's a USB stick or a hard drive.
This is blocked by the installer because it caused all sorts of problems. It was really a complete disaster.

Try renaming it to end in .png and see if it works. That's a common mistake (that is, accidentally saving as PNG type into a .pdn file)

btw I'm planning on making this easier.
For instance, if you have both installed then when you launch one you'll see a message, "Hey you have both installed ... you want to uninstall the 'classic' version right?" and a button that just does it for you.

yup!

If you hover your mouse over the items in the File -> Open Recent menu, it'll give you a tooltip with the full path
And if you open the image you can right-click on the thumbnail at the top and then click on Open Containing Folder

This has been possible since 2005 ... 🤦♂️ But if you really just want to be grumpy, we won't miss you 🙄

Gotcha. Classic case of, "there's a fix but you have to install the update which has the fix"
-
That's not how it works. It's not about giving permission. It would require months, even years, of engineering effort to get PDN to work on Mac. This won't be happening.

It's just aliasing. Nothing harmful. The cure would be worse than the cold.
