Many (most?) Windows apps allow for Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn to switch between open "documents", especially when they are presented in a tabular interface. (Sampling from the apps that I have open: All modern browsers, Directory Opus, OneNote, Notepad++, VMware Workstation Pro... even Visual Studio but for some reason only if your tabs are not text documents / code files.) I was a little bit surprised to find that this doesn't work in paint.net so I was wondering if you would consider adding it in a future version. I know that Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab work for this already. I think that the Ctrl+PgUp/Dn shortcuts are a bit easier; in particular Ctrl+PgUp is a bit less clunky than Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

"Food for thought," doesn't matter if it's fake or not, that was not the intention of my post. I was going for "here is an example of what a Paint app with the ribbon might look like." I thought it was interesting and that some folks here might find it interesting as well. I did not expect people to attack me for it. :-P Though I think given the source there is a reasonable chance that it is not fake (especially given that multiple sources have confirmed that the new Win7 build has ribbon in Paint), I know that anything like this should be taken with a grain of salt.

This is not a suggestion for Paint.NET, just food for thought. I know that the ribbon interface has been considered and rejected for Paint.NET, but I didn't really think about what it would look like until now. http://uxevangelist.blogspot.com/2008/09/windows-7-m3-build-6780-new-paint-ui.html

Yeah, sorry I left that out I guess, I am using pixels but I set it as the default unit in the "Choose defaults" dialog. Even in pixels I have to click and drag to make a selection appear... Just clicking doesn't do it. (Using 3.22.) (Also, it doesn't really make sense to have this behavior dependent on the selected unit of measurement either, but as far as I can tell, it behaves the same in each of them.)

This is a somewhat silly problem, but I think it makes sense to have this changed if it is not too much trouble. What do you all think? Here it is. - Open Paint.NET. - Select the rectangle select tool. - On the toolbar on the top, change the selection mode from "Normal" to "Fixed size." - Click somewhere on the blank image that is open. (Just click, no dragging.) Expected results: - A selection is formed, using the specified size, and the clicked pixel as the top left pixel. Actual results: - Nothing happens. You actually have to click and drag the mouse around to get it to make a selection, which is a bit annoying when trying to do precise fixed-size selections. When using fixed-size, you should be able to create a selection by just clicking. Thanks for your thoughts, - Aaron

Something I miss from Paint Shop Pro, wondered if anyone else thought it would be useful? My simple request is: If you press Ctrl+C (or Edit -> Copy) and there is no selection, the entire image (layer?) should be put into the clipboard. (Presently, this command is disabled when there is no selection.)

I have come across what may be a crash bug in Paint.NET. I am running Paint.NET 3.05 on Windows Vista. Plugging in a Canon camera to the computer via USB, the camera shows up in Computer but is not given a drive letter. In Paint.NET, trying to open an image while accessing the camera works, but trying to open several at once (ctrl+click or drag a box) results in a crash. This is using the internal "File -> Open" command (not opening from Explorer or anything). (Side note: If I try this in Paint Shop Pro, after I click open it gives me a message like "cannot open multiple files simultaneously from this source, try opening one at a time.") Does anyone else have a camera they could try to reproduce this with? [edit] Reproduced on another machine with another camera. This text file was created because Paint.NET crashed. Please e-mail this file to paint.net@hotmail.com so we can diagnose and fix the problem.
