The Slippster

Okay, I have stumbled upon a workaround. instead of launching Paint.net FIRST, and then using the menu to find the pic i want to work on , merely just find the pic ( do not launch Paint.net) then right click on the pic's icon and choose Open With, then select Paint.net. problem solved! just reorder the procedure. and quit using the file>open>desktop menu. thanks for the explanation about Divx, and its locating the first frame bit. it explains to me and makes perfect sense. im not about to start a feud between Divx and you guys, lol. thats one shooting war better left unstarted. ...but if anyone else wants to pursue it, :twisted: be my guest ! Have Fun! Paint.net ROCKS! Slippster

im using XP SP2 all updates Paint.net 3.08 i have removed and reinstalled both Paint.net, and Divx player and codec. it still happens. whats happening is, that when go to FILE>OPEN, and click the DESKTOP button in the system tray the Divx update launches. does this happen to anyone else? I love Paint.net, but this is a major hassle. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

yes please excuse my enthusiasm Euphoria doesnt even begin to describe what im feeling. orgasmic? mmmmmm almost. :twisted: PDN TEAM- FYI- I saw the update for this over on Neowin's site. I had completely put PDN out of my mind, when yesterday I saw it, and then, I immediately downloaded 3.01 and installed it- and my very first task- open up a pic and doodle on it and save it- no hassles! NONE! Im SO elated! ( cant you tell?) I primarily have been using PDN to help out on my website, resizing pix, or adding text, PDN rocks in that dept. fast- easy- wam-bam- lets get on with it. quick n dirty type stuff. now to learn how to do layers.... :oops: Technology is awesome- when it works. Thanks for everything ! PDN is "just my speed" and im still learning. Slippster Have Fun! wassup Honda? nice siggy. :twisted:

A BIG THANK YOU! I had written you guys off. its GREAT to be back! Paint.net is HANDS DOWN- the single most used pic editor ive ever tried- and ive tried A LOT OF THEM. Photoshop is a JOKE for most NEW users. "do what- to what- with what?" most are NOT noob- or even newb- friendly. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! YOU GUYS ROCK! Slippster EDIT: by the way- after it crashed ( well....actually, it froze up) several times trying to save a pic, I uninstalled it and went on a world-wide-web-search for an app to replace Paint.net. YOULL BE HAPPY TO KNOW- -THERE ISNT ONE. :twisted:
