Check out the help file, it'll have all the info you need.

Looks like you've got a bad font or something. Did you install any new ones just recently?

For v3.0, I mentioned I was making improvements to the "More" mode of the Colors window as well. Check it out: Here is a sneak peak at the palette management. I have already saved 1 palette to the list. They are stored as simple .txt files in to My Documents\Paint.NET User Files\Palettes (those last two parts of the path are localizable and will show up in the language you have chosen): To add the current color to the palette, you click on the "+" button and then click on the position in the palette you want to place the color. To remove a color you click the "x" button and then click the color you want to remove. To ensure the user knows that they should click on a color after the + or x button, the palette will flash to draw the user's attention to it. (I guess this is currently the "v3.0 preview thread" )

You might be able to, you'd need both C# and C++. I haven't tried the Express editions myself but haven't heard from anyone that it doesn't work.

Also, if you are doing a deployment / installation to many computers, I recommend reading the help topic titled "Unattended Installation" in the help file. If you have a system administrator familiar with AD/GPO deployment, this will help immensely (or if you are that system administrator, of course). Here's a direct link to the online copy, http://www.getpaint.net/doc/2.70/Help/e ... ation.html

If you need to send a .PDN file to someone, you might just zip it up and send the .ZIP file. If you're in XP you can just right click the file, then click Send To, and then "Compressed (zipped) folder".

Um, File -> Save As....

I'm guessing you meant 'awe' 'Aww' is what you say when looking at cute bunnies, puppies, or kittens.

These instructions are intended for people who wish to distribute Paint.NET and to make the installer display in a language other than English or German. This came about because someone requested putting Paint.NET on a French training CD-ROM and wanted to make installation as easy as possible. NOTE: While this allows you to have the installation wizard displayed in another language, it does not install the language pack for use by the application itself. You must still do that as a separate step after installation. It is still possible to automate this, but it takes some extra effort. See below for some guidance on this. Here is our goal: Step 1. Download the latest version of Paint.NET from the website, http://www.getpaint.net Step 2. Double-click on the installer, PaintDotNet.Version.Number.Install.exe Step 3. Once the installation wizard starts up, do not click on anything! Step 4. In Windows Explorer, open the following directory: %TEMP% Step 5. Inside this directory, copy PdnSetup to your desktop. Step 6. Click "Cancel" in the Setup wizard and close it down. Step 7. You should now have a directory on your desktop like this: Step 8. Download the language packs that you are interested in from here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/5-translation-and-localization/ Step 9. Extract only the strings files to the folder shown in step 7. Let's say we want to add French, Czech, and Chinese (Traditional). We would download those language packs and extract their contents to the folder like so: Step 10. At this point you can copy this directory on to a CD-ROM or something, and instruct users to double click on SetupShim.exe. To make it easier, feel free to rename that file to just Setup.exe, or provide some type of shortcut to it. Lastly, this does not install the language pack for use in the application!!! However, you can automate this process as well. I do not have a batch file or script or anything prepared, but the pseudo code for automating the entire setup process would look like this, assuming you have done the steps listed above: run SetupShim.exe and wait for it to exit if the return code ("ERRORLEVEL") does not equal 0 (zero), then exit: this indicates an error of some sort, and setup did not complete get the value of the following registry key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Paint.NET\TARGETDIR" if the registry key doesn't exist, then exit (this means setup did not complete: the user cancelled, or was not successful) extract the desired language packs to the directory specified by that registry key set the value of the following registry key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Paint.NET\LanguageName" to the desired locale name ("fr" for French, "cs" for Czech, "zh-CHT" for Chinese Traditional, etc., although without the quotes). this will set the default language for all users of Paint.NET on the system done! This should be simple enough to do in VBScript, but I just don't have anything prepared for it. If someone here on the forums would be willing to provide a script for this, I think people would very much appreciate it

So don't use a beta version of Visual Studio. And stop spamming me with e-mails, private messages, and forum posts.

I don't know. Everything builds just fine here.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Screenshots would help.

*shrug* Your computer is probably just slow, or something else is taking up more memory that Paint.NET now can't use and so there is a lot of pagefile activity (which is very slow). Try restarting.

Ok but then what kind of computer do you have? How fast is it? Were you trying to do these same effects before? None of that code has really changed since v2.61.

You'll have to describe in more detail what you mean by "very slow," especially because there's been only very minor changes between 2.61 and 2.70 that could even affect this. What is slow? What are you trying to do that is "slow"? What type of computer do you have? etc.

Cool Yes Yes Yes ... and of course, donations are appreciated

Mostly it makes it impossible to moderate if people post in other languages. I will have to lock or delete non-English posts from now on, outside of the Localization forum.

Image -> Resize Just change the "Resolution:" field and hit OK.

Sorry, this is an English forum.

I don't know, but I've filed a bug.

Covered in the FAQ. Asked many times before...

You need to install SP2. Simple as that.
