  1. What are the resolutions of your two monitors? Also, can you click the gear icon, diagnostics tab, copy to clipboard button... then come here and paste the info. Thanks. That may help.
  2. Please run paint.net, click the gear icon in the upper right corner. In the dialog box that comes up, click the "Diagnostics" tab (on the left). On that tab, click the "Copy to clipboard" button. Paste your information into a message here. That should give us more information to troubleshoot the problem.
  3. Unzip the file to your Desktop, then copy the file into your Effects directory.
  4. Yes, after scanning, close the Twainable dialog box then press Ctrl-V to paste your scan into your image. I would probably use Ctrl-Shift-V to paste into a new layer or Ctrl-Alt-V to paste into a new image.
  5. In the first post, there is a link in the "Download" section that says "HERE".
  6. IMHO, the BBC TV series is MUCH better than the movie.
  7. Read this: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/9349-plugin-problems-read-this/
  8. Actually, the quoting system is pretty cool. All you need to do is select the part of my message you want to quote and a little bubble shows up. Click the bubble and the quote happens. By repeating this action, you can get multiple quotes in the reply box.
  9. I've never had the docker windows get lost. But, I've seen tons of posts from people that have lost them. Until recently, it was a pain to get them back (you had to use regedit). I could rewrite my plugins to always show up where you left them, but WHAT A PAIN! If you want that functionality, like I said, my source code is posted above, go for it!
  10. I saw it as a gloved hand pointing down wearing an orange wristwatch. EDIT: I'm just fooling around. My guess as to function is (left-to-right): Employee info, Schedule, Disability, Job, Search, Supervisor info, Branch office?/Subordinate Info?, and Close/Cancel.
  11. Many plugins ARE open source. You are free to recompile them for yourself and add in the necessary code to open the window where ever you want. In fact, HERE is the source code to my Hue/Sat+ plugin. Feel free to start there. Post the source code when you're done so that everyone can benefit.
  12. Now, you want two different behaviors?! That's even MORE code! You're right that Rick has written a bunch of this code... but, you know what? Sometimes those windows get lost!
  13. Draw bands of specific colors. Run Effects > Distort > Frosted Glass
  14. I wouldn't exactly call this a flaw. Opening a child window programmatically, Windows offers several options: Windows Default - Windows determines where the window opens. It never opens in the same place. Windows generally open in a cascade (overlapping) style. Under some circumstances the child window could open in a different screen as the application that opened it. Do you really trust Windows to choose the proper place to open your child window? I don't. Handled with one line of code. Center Screen - The window opens centered within the screen regardless of where the parent window is located. The window may open far away from where the parent window is located. Handled with one line of code. Center Parent - Generally preferred. The window opens centered within the parent window. Handled with one line of code. Manual - Window opens in a specific position. This can be relative to the screen coordinates or the parent window coordinates. The user has to write LOTS of code to manage this. You have to handle the case where the window will show up off the screen because the main window moved, or the screen resolution has changed, etc. You also need to store the location in the registry so it will persist from run to run. And, you better handle Large Fonts Mode... No matter which method Rick chooses, someone is going to hate it. SO, he can choose to write 1 line of code or a TON of code that needs testing under various conditions and operating systems.... and some people will hate it. As a developer, I think he's made the right choice. (And, yes, I move the dialog boxes out of the way all the time.)
  15. Before posting about your specific problem, please read and follow these instructions. You might be able to solve your own problem! Before you begin, you MUST be running the latest version of paint.net. If you are trying to run an older version, I'm sorry, but we simply can not help you. Problems during Download Be sure you've downloaded the proper file from the official site. Go HERE and click the download link in the upper right corner of the page. Unzip the file to your desktop. Don't use Alzip as it is old and broken. Use WinZip, 7-zip, WinRAR, or even the functionality that's built-in to Windows itself (Right-click, Extract to...). If the installer offers to install search bars, popup blockers, or other third-party software, cancel the install and go back to item 1 above. You have downloaded paint.net from an unofficial site. The official paint.net installer includes paint.net ONLY and no other bundled programs. Problems during Install / Uninstall First, download THIS tool and run it. It will detect and fix many problems that prevent you from installing or uninstalling programs. Finally, follow steps 1-3 of the "Problems during Download" section above to install paint.net. If during this install you receive a 1603 error, run THIS diagnostic tool. Post the contents of the error log to a new thread in the Troubleshooting & Bug Reports forum. Someone will be around shortly to help you. If during install you receive an "UnauthorizedAccessException" to your "AppData" path, disable the "Controlled folder access" option of Windows Defender. It's a stupid feature that breaks a ton of legitimate applications. How to fix this issue. Problems when Running paint.net Running paint.net is very slow (more than 10 seconds to startup): - You may have too many plugins or custom shapes installed. Clear out the ones you don't actually need. - If you just upgraded your OS, the ngen cache may have been emptied. Try reinstalling paint.net to fix this (or just wait a day or two and it should solve itself). - Upgrading from an HDD to an SSD helps a lot with this, especially if it's only the 1st start after reboot that is very slow. If paint.net crashes, take your crash log file over here to diagnose the problem: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/112453-scan-your-crashlog-for-common-solutions/. paint.net does not play well with Mirillis Action!, Window Blinds, EVGA PrecisionX, Powerstrip, MSI Gaming APP, Webroot, ATI Hydravision, Discord Overlay, MacType, Fraps, Asus ROG Sonic Studio, Stardock Object Desktop Manager, and Dolphin SuperNova. Disable any of these you're using and try paint.net again. If you get the error "The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-timezone-l1-1-0.dll is missing", download THIS (Visual C++ Redistributable) and install it. Make sure your video card drivers are up-to-date. Try turning off Hardware Acceleration from the Settings dialog. If you can't even start Paint.NET, you can bypass the Settings dialog: - Run regedit - Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Paint.NET - Change key "UI/EnableHardwareAcceleration" from "true" to "false" (if the key isn't here, just add it as a new "String value") If paint.net is still crashing, click the "show details" button and copy the entire error message to the clipboard, go here https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/112453-scan-your-crashlog-for-common-solutions/ to diagnose the problem. Problems with a Specific Plugin First make sure you are using the latest version of that plugin. If that doesn't fix the problem, post your issue in that plugin's thread in the plugin forum. If you are having trouble installing a plugin, read THIS. If after reading that you are still having trouble installing a plugin, post HERE and someone will help you.
  16. It works out to be the same. I recommend, just running the latest installer (download from here.)
  17. Try this: reinstall paint.net This will force Windows to recompile the application for your system.
