Could I have an installer for 3.0? It's telling me I need the one with MSI product code GUID: {816A0870-6EC0-4DFF-B97C-E2CF820D7D6C}.
-
When it installs the new version, it can't find the MSI package for the last version. The PaintDotNet_######## number it gives for the 3.0 installer is different than the number the existing one has. When I browse to that MSI, it tells me it's not a valid PDN 3.0 installation package.
-
Huh. Yeah, OK, not reproducible.
-
That's the way it's supposed to work.
Why? This isn't useful at all. If I didn't want it to copy the next time I drag, I'd let go of the Ctrl key. That's how it works in Paint. There's no sense in making me switch tools just to "refresh my control quota".
-
This only works once per switch to the Move tool. For instance, if you hold control, drag a selectiion, drop it, and do it again, the second time it would only move the item, rather than do a copy each time like it should. This has been around since the implementation of Ctrl+Drag.
-
What is the point of the Alpha gradient tool? It seems like, to me, the only thing it does is creates a "white to black-with-the-opposite-alpha-value-of-the-primary-color". Why not just make a gradient with white and a black with the desired opacity? I thought the point of Paint.NET was to remove options like these that clutter up the UI.
EDIT: If you're looking for an alpha-replace type effect I believe the thing to do would be something like a black/white gradient with one of the layer filters on. I'm a bit pressed for time so I can't check which.
-
Select part of the image and click one of the "rotate"s from the Image menu.
-
Well, that's a start (Just a feature that could create a folder of shortcuts would do fine for this), but I'm just talking about a feature that would reopen whatever images the user had open next time they started PDN.
-
Could you make it so keypresses to find a font in the dropdown don't only work for the first letter, eg. "A - R - I" would take me to Arial rather then Algerian -> Rockwell -> Ignacious? Do this in Windows Explorer for an example.
-
Can you supply the crash.log that is probably on your desktop?
Actually, it was a hang.
-
Perhaps some sort of way to make PDN reopen with all the files it had, a la IE7's functionality? This would be especially useful for updates.
-
At least I'm assuming that's what triggered it.
-
So what's wrong with just setting up the same color with 2 different opacities and just turning off alpha blending?
Edit: just in general what is wrong with alpha colors
-
Hue/Saturation/Value. Sorry, I wanted to keep the title concise. Basically, anything with a value of 50 comes up as 49 when it's accessed again.
-
Example: Enter hex 7F4E08 into the pallete. It alternates between 49 and 50. I dunno, there's something up with this but I'm not 100% sure how to explain it.
-
Now what we NEED for this is a color-to-alpha tool.
-
But why? Paint.net is neither an OS or a licensing agreement.
-
By my count we currently have 112 icons for v2.2.
:shock:
-
Type width number and height number into Canvas Size.
Constrain to proportions.
Use the percentages.
Or just use a calculator and multiply both numbers.
-
See this. See this run. Run, this, run.
-
I know I've had peoples e-mail me before about some basic PDN workings questions or about my tutorials, but never about technical support.
Perhaps because your username is Alph Tech / STUART... >_>
Hmm.
-
Not off the bat, but there's always stuff like the ol' new-layer-with-a-Gaussian-Blur and such.
-
Ahhhhhhhhh, that's better. Seconded.

Not sure if he's bothered you guys either:

Subject: Paint.NET v2.6 Beta 1 and Alpha 2
Importance: High
Dear Stuart,
I have been using Paint.NET for some months now, upgrading the various betas along the way. All was ok with the v2.5 versions. Unfortunately I updated to v2.6 and this is when the problems with my OS started. I did follow the instructions and download and install the MS .NET framework version 2.0 first. I must admit I had been having problems with my XP Prof SP2 and had to use System Restore to go back to a previous point. I had decided I didn’t need Paint.NET any more, so I tried removing Paint.NET v2.6 Beta 1 via Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel. It crashes out. I tried to reinstall old v 2.5 but it says I still have newer version available and stops installing. I try to reinstall either version 2.6 Beta 1 or v2.6 Alpha 2 but I always get pop-up error message stating:â€
Can't upgrade 3.0 to 3.0X- Staging weirdness
in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

It's a problem with the staging. It's asking me to find an MSI I don't have and have likely never had.
I'm not trying to upgrade from a version before 2.6. I currently have 3.0 and can't upgrade to 3.07 or anything. I can't uninstall 3.0 either.
