which generates this error:
That should only happen if you're using the portable version of Paint.NET (which can't use the protocol method). Or, of course, if you're using an extremely old version of Paint.NET that's not even compatible with the plugin.
Or, you're conflating the two instructions. paintdotnet: (protocol) is generally used via "Run", whereas the other command is run from the command prompt (as null54 stated).

Any ideas what is causing this
A bug in Firefox and/or Confluence

I just saved a multi-layered image to a .png, and this time it asked me to "flatten" the image. This seems to be some kind of one-off, very hard to reproduce bug, if it even is one at all.
edit: fixed a typo
It's not really a bug, and it's not difficult to reproduce. @toe_head2001 just told you exactly what leads to it.

Try changing the Text Metric to Fixed.
And/or adjust the Resolution (aka DPI) in Image->Resize.

It's definitely not the issue. Look at the installation instructions for this and every other plug-in.
Reinstalling to paint-net is also not going to be an issue, as long as PsFilterPdn was reconfigured to the appropriate path (which it sounds like it was). So at this point there's no need to reinstall again to paint.net

just press Enter.
To elaborate on this, you should be able to press Ctrl+S and then immediately press Enter without even having to wait for the Save Configuration dialog to pop up.

A plugin cannot do this, and I won't be changing this behavior.
There's no need to move the mouse all the way over to the OK button -- just press Enter.

Maybe PDN should make a clipboard memory for all steps taken
Which would gobble up more memory than exists
Sorry, but this just isn't how things work, and it won't be changing
-
Nothing has changed here, so I'm not sure what was happening before. PDN has never copied the line/shape as an object, it can only copy the pixels themselves.

The desktop icon has a blue background, see attached picture. It would also be fine to get the Paint.NET icon as a ICO file.
The ICO is already available -- just download the portable version, it's right there as paintdotnet.ico

You should be able to choose which file types are associated with Paint.NET by using the "Default apps" settings page (just search for "Default apps").

Unfortunately that's just what Windows does for Store apps. I think it's an ugly leftover from Windows 8/8.1. If anyone knows how to fix this, assuming it's even possible, I'm all ears for it. There might be some new thing that can be done in the Appx manifest.

I think the standard solution here is to create a batch file that uses the paintdotnet: protocol. Sometimes programs don't work very well when directly given the protocol, etc. "paintdotnet:%1", but they often easily handle batch files.

No but you can use something like Stable Diffusion for that

If there is any way to delete/clear out the disk space used after expanding the canvas size in Paint.NET please let me know.
You're talking about the files that store the history entries.
You can always save your image, close it, and then re-open it (File -> Open Recent -> first item, which you can do quickly by typing Alt+F, R, 1)
Obviously this clears your undo history, but it's how you do it.

I'm guessing that this is a Windows Imaging Component (WIC) limitation
Yes, unfortunately

FYI, BMP will lose all metadata.
AVIF is a good modern format and it might support larger sizes -- @null54 do you know anything about that?

Anyway, OP has their answer, so I’m closing the thread

This post is 7 years old, @Bla Bla … no need to reply.

I am not a digital wizard and would not know where to find diagnostics, sorry Tactilis.
Pixey showed you how and where in her first reply.
Unfortunately this thread is going in circles and there’s no exit in sight, so I’m closing it.
It’s clear this isn’t a bug in PDN, as no one else is experiencing it. That’s why we needed the diagnostics info, so we can figure out what’s different about your system, if anything

can you add another option for "Medium"
Sorry, I'm not planning to

There isn't really a fix, this is just how Paint.NET and other major Microsoft applications list/map fonts in the system (it's how GDI does font mapping, i.o.w.). Changing this would affect things way beyond this one font, making things more confusing and difficult for a million other users of the app.
Paint.NET does not show the different variants of the font family, they are grouped together and the variants are chosen by clicking on the Bold and Italics buttons.
Also, GIMP is licensed under the GPL, which is a nasty viral license (it's essentially the worst license). Inspecting their code could cause all sorts of legal problems. So, no to that idea.

You can update the NVIDIA driver by going to NVIDIA's website and clicking "Drivers" at the top.
The GeForce 930A should have significantly better (faster) performance than the Intel HD 530, so it's probably worth trying to get that working.

Someone in another thread said it was some AMD thing that was hijacking the shortcut.
This is not a Paint.NET bug, you will need to investigate elsewhere.
Also, WHY did you post this in "Preview Center"? That makes no sense. You should have posted this in Troubleshooting.

Please may I request from the community a method compatible for Paint.NET 4.3.8 (Windows 7 Version)
There is no support for that version of any kind. You must be using the latest version, which is currently 5.0.12. Same for Windows 7, which has been out-of-support with Microsoft for a long time as well.
To put it simply: no. The answer is no.
If you want to make sure EXIF metadata is not present in your images, you can easily find external programs/utilities to do that. Floating conspiracy theories about "being tracked" is disingenuous and counterproductive.
In the meantime, you also need to update your OS to Windows 10 v1809 or newer. Using Windows 7 these days is irresponsible, and asking people to support your lack of updating is not respectful of their (our) time. More on this policy.

You should also try disabling "Wondershare Filmora" and "ScreenPal".

Yeah this definitely looks like a GPU issue.
Since this is a fresh install of Windows 10, it's very important that you get all of the updates that are available for your system. Open up Windows Update and install everything it has available. Keep repeating this (with reboots when it says to) until there's nothing else.
Make sure you have the latest GPU driver from NVIDIA installed. It looks like you have version 388.73 which is very old.
You have hardware acceleration disabled for the UI/canvas for some reason -- you should enable that.

Sorry, as @Pixey said, discussion must be in English.
