Ok

I didn't know there'd be a quiz later on the exact phrasing ... :shock:

Skinning is an absolute waste of development resources.

Paint.NET 3.0 already comes with a 256x256 icon embedded in the EXE.

1. Restart your computer 2. Delete those folders 3. Install Paint.NET 3.0, not 2.72.

What you're asking for would involve completely rewriting Paint.NET from scratch with an entirely different editing paradigm. If that's what you want to do, then Paint.NET is just not well suited for your tasks.

No. That wouldn't solve a thing anyway.

Then Paint.NET just might not be well suited to what you're doing.

The tool windows are dockable. Make sure you're using v3.0.

One of your fonts is throwing GDI+ in to a fit. Unfortunately we can't tell which one from the crashlog (it just doesn't tell us).

The GDI+ text system, which is what Paint.NET uses, doesn't support OpenFont, only TrueType. This is nothing new or surprising.

What kind of CPU and video card do you have?

I'll confirm that enabling the line/curve tool to draw arrows at either end of the line is in the short-term roadmap for Paint.NET. With the current plan of releasing a +.01 update every month, that means March or April (probably).

File -> Save As, then choose a different file format.

*shrug* Paint.NET isn't the only thing I do. I think you're mis-correlating quantity and quality with respect to time though. Even if I had more time for Paint.NET, that doesn't necessarily mean you'd see a flood of features. This stuff till takes time to "bake" -- good designs can't necessarily be forced just because you suddenly have time to think about them, and stabilizing code is very dependent on quality testing which takes time, time, time. If I had done gradients or MDI two years ago then the design would have been lame simply because the good design in 3.0 took awhile for me to gradually figure out. If I had squeezed in 8 (to pick an arbitrary number) more features in to 3.0, then it would either have required another month to release or it would be not as stable right now. Even if someone decided to start paying me bucketloads of cash (or suitcase-fulls?), that just increases cash flow. It doesn't increase the amount of time!

Moved to General Discussion Short answer: no, and no. You can't just "make it work without net framework." That's like asking BMW if they can manufacture your car without metal or plastic. If you want to use Paint.NET 2.72 or later, then .NET 2.0 and XP SP2 are required. Simple as that.

Maybe it's short for Dexter

I think there's something similar in the "Unofficial Paint.NET logo contest" ... they did the Paint.NET words with Google style lettering. You should check that thread out.

Why oh why was this still in the Tutorials section ... I don't know. Moved to General Discussion

If you went to the trouble of searching for the topic and pasting in all those URL's then you know that we're already well aware of this and there's no need to raise the topic again. Locked
