[Divx update launches when FILE > OPEN > DESKTOP]

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!

[Divx update launches when FILE > OPEN > DESKTOP]

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.

[Paint.NET v3.01 is now available]

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.

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.

* Fixed: and they chose to save their images

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you!

YOU GUYS ROCK!

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:
