[Shape3D (2007-08-24) [Bug Fixed September 2023]]

Just to clarify the official Windows themes (that I know of) are: 'Zune' (not included in Xp but it is still an official theme), 'Windows Xp' (blue, green and silver), all the 'Windows classic' ones, and something called 'Royal'.

Royal is the XP Media Center Edition theme.

[Request for Comments: What "settings" would you want? (v4)]

I remember that once in a blog post you mentioned a file extensions binding options pane or something.

EDIT:

http://blog.getpaint.net/2007/06/01/wha ... -paintnet/ is the blog post I was thinking of.

[PdN Benchcat]

He talked about his cat for some reason in the PDN blog.

[Paint.NET v3.20 is now available!]

Yay for new release.

in other news:

You've been slashdotted

[Chose defaults dialog automatically changing colours]

Just a small annoyance,

But when changing the defaults for tools etc. the primary and secondary colours get changed back to the startup values of black and white.

Reproducing steps:

1. Change colours to anything except the black/white startup colours (just so we can show that the colours actually change)

2. Open the 'Change Defaults' dialog in the tools menu.

3. Press save.

4. The colours should return to the black/white startup colours

[What are pixel sizes for A4 paper?]

Your Document size = PDN Print size.

Your Print Quality = PDN Resolution.

Yours preset VS. PDN's any numbers.

The point I was trying to make was that if you wanted to use one of the standard sizes, you would have to go on the internet, look it up, and then enter it manually.

The presets would be only an alternative for people who haven't memorised the numbers.

[What are pixel sizes for A4 paper?]

It would be nice if the 'new' dialog had some sort of presets so that people didnt have to ask about these things.

[Quick preview of upcoming Beta 1 release]

and something else I'm hoping to announce soon enough.

Now lets have an indepth look at that comment, shall we?

As Beta 1 will be feature locked, this "something else" can't actually be related to PDN itself, so my prediction is a remodel of the PDN website, or something related to it.

[Defaults]

OMG I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU COULDNT FIND IT!!!!!!!111!!!!one!

ahem. sorry.

Click the "tool" dropdown box at the top left corner of the window, and click chose defaults.

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

aatwo, have you thought about getting an account on deviantArt ? Seriously man, this stuff needs to be collected in one place for posterity or something ... think of the children.

Rick, I think that This image would be better suited in that post

[Alpha only gradiants not working in Alpha3 build]

So Images Like that can be done easily.

While removing this option would reduce "clutter", options like this are far easier than fiddling around with alpha values and so on.

[Feature suggestion for Paint.NET]

read the FAQ.

specifically the part where it says "Paint .NET is not an animation program"

[Crop and paste Weird/Small selections in same document]

Dunno if this is a bug or not, but when you make a selection, then rotate it 180 or 360 degrees manually, there is a line of pixels missing , never rotates perfectly

[bug report]

After a day of trying to crash pdn, i thought i had tried everything. I tried to open every image on my computer, tried to open a notepad document with a .jpg extension, and so on. but none of them failed.

but as I was about to give up, i decided to make an incredibly big image, and got :

the thing is, i just tried to recreate the crash again, but got an error message that i didn't have enough memory and didn't crash.

Also, i thought i might suggest a few things about 3.0

1) The multiple image save dialog looks great, but the single image save popup box doesn't by comparison. in the interests of consistancy and user friendliness, wouldn't it be better to change the single save dialog to be similar, with descriptions etc., to the multi image save dialog

2) now that there is a context toolbar, it could save some room in the tools window by combining the rectangle and the circle select to one tool, and allowing the user to change the shape in the toolbar instead

EDIT: also, is the Line/Curve tool supposed to use the secondary colour?

[Paint.NET v2.72 is now available]

Is there any reason that getpaint.net only has the text "hello world" on it and therefore we can't view the pictures?

[Feature Request - Selection Brush]

What i'm requesting is a selection brush, where it acts like a normal paintbrush, but what you "draw" becomes the selection, or adds to the selection. I would find this much easier than having to use the lassoo tools many times or the magic wand brush for different coloured selections.

[Paint.NET v2.72 is now available]

oh, ok. I thought it was that, but i didn't realise that it needed to be a tool...

[Paint.NET v2.72 is now available]

Rick, i notice that in the new pictures of 3.0 there is an extra tool, a hand tool. what does it do? and plans for implementation of other tools? ( I won't say what ones i'm thinking of, in case i start sounding like george.)

[Paint.net v3.0...? Rick?]

Just out of interest, what are the features that have been cut from PDN3.0 ?

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

or 4 8 15 16 23 42 ?

Was waiting for someone to say that

[Paint.NET v2.63 is now available]

I'm going to say this so

NOONE ELSE HAS TO!

Wheres the Airbrush?Wheres the magnetic lassoo?

wheres the thing that will be exactly the same as photoshop, only free-er?

Yes I do realise that he said it was an early alpha. It actually looks quite good. nice to see MDI in the corner there, will make PDN so much better now. Keep up the good work

I only wrote those things above so that those things were written, and so (hopefully) those people who were going to ask those questions maybe now wont.

EDIT: Rick, someone will eventually say something like that, I like to call what i said a "pre-emptive strike"

[Paint.NET as image viewer?]

maybe some sort of an image tray down the bottom, so you can quickly open images

[HL2]

you can actually play the game in third person if you want....

just open the developers console (on PC this is) and type in thirdperson.

to get back to first person just type firstperson.

and for the record he doesn't have a cape
