Hmm, well it doesn't work for me. Too bad, I really want to know why this happens. Especially why it only happens on some systems but not others.

Please, follow the rules and modify your thread title so it isn't just "Help!!!" I'll have to close this thread if you dont. Thanks.

Doesn't work here. Good try though. I've had a bug filed on this for awhile.

You can usually figure out which font is not working because its "The quick brown fox" preview text won't show up in the font drop-down list.

This has already been discussed many times and a long time ago. Please search and find the answers already given. Summary: The text in 3.36, rendered via GDI+, was actually not very good, and it crashed a LOT and was slow. Win7 and Vista SP2 have access to DirectWrite which produces superior text rendering in every way. For XP, I chose to use GDI (no '+') for text rendering in order to have stable (non-crashy) text rendering. The "smooth/sharp" option just chose between GDI+ and GDI rendering, but mostly it just had the effect of disabling antialiasing -- you can do that by turning off antialiasing on the right edge of the toolbar. And yeah, it's time to ditch XP. Paint.NET v4.0 will not work on XP, and Windows 7 is really good.

The content is now "live," accessible at the usual address and/or via the Help menu in Paint.NET.

Do a search for "checkerboard" and you'd find it instantly. Even within Paint.NET there's a Search command in the Help menu ...

So go download the plugin. It's easy enough to find if you search a little.

The icon is embedded at the beginning of the image file. It isn't computed on-the-fly. If the image is corrupt, then it's not a stretch that the beginning of the file is not corrupt, and hence the thumbnail is fine. The image is toast.

You need to run chkdsk, asap. Search for the forum for "chkdsk" to find some other posts and instructions.

Advertising, Kontera in this case, helps cover costs and keep things free.

As posted before (a long time ago, it seems), http://forums.getpai...ebsite-updates/ , we've been working on a redesign of the help/documentation pages for Paint.NET. (Well, Matan has.) Anyway we've got the almost final draft finished up and ready to test out: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/test/ We'll probably "go live" sometime within the next few days.

Ahh. Yeah I noticed that right after I posted the question ... durr Well, PayPal has yet to bonk me on the head. I don't keep cash in there for very long though, I transfer out at least once a month, and the bank account it's linked to is kept pretty minimal too.

This forum has everything the old one did. But, many of the http://*forumer* links were not updated.

Where does it indicate this?

Try using a different screen capture program, like maybe my favorite, Window Clippings.

They simply require that you make it obvious that the donations are not tax deductible, which is clearly spelled out at http://www.getpaint.net/donate.html

The plugins aren't actually on forumer. That's where the Paint.NET forums used to be hosted, but now they're here at http://forums.getpaint.net. So, the links have simply not been brought up-to-date.

Thread's dead, Ted. Thread's dead. You should've read the rules ... Thread Closed

Actually Paint.NET is intentionally lying to you. I needed a way to get more people to sign up for the forum so I made it randomly bomb out on copy/paste ... Just kidding. It's not lying to you. Like I said elsewhere, the clipboard is a shared resource, it's cantankerous, and it's not very smart. Setting the type to "PNG" doesn't mean anything, you're using the wrong tag there.

.NET 4 is only used in a few corner cases. You should, in general, just install 3.5 SP1.

I didn't say I disliked it. I was merely pointing out what is currently available. Please don't infer emotion when none is present. Sometimes I think I should change my avatar to a picture of a robot ...

If you want the path, it's in the registry. The UI menu only displays the file name, but the full path has to be stored. HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Paint.NET

Origins? You gotta be more specific about what you need. Are we talking backstory like X-Men Origins, or like ... the file's full path?
