Version 1.2 posted. I've added support for the Dark Theme, and moved it to the 'Tools' menu. Feel free to enlarge the canvas before running the plugin. I think that's the simplest solution.

Do you use any software utilities that might clear MRUs from different programs? For example: BleachBit, CCleaner, ect. You can proceed by setting a default email program in the Windows Settings, or simply save the email address in your email contacts.

Sounds like you have Chrome set as the default email program in Windows. Weird. Go into the Windows Settings, and change it to an actual email program (assuming you use one, and not a webmail) Do any of the setting of paint.net also get reset to their defaults? That is, if you had previous changed them.

No, once you cast your vote(s), you can't change/add votes. Sorry if you only selected one, but meant to select a few others too.

Version 1.2.1.1 posted. Just a few bugfixes. See first post.

Try installing the .NET Framework beforehand. https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/thank-you/net472

I suggest you create a macro with AutoHotKey, or a similar program.

Hello, can you please try installing the .NET Framework beforehand, and see if that makes a difference? Sometimes the bundled installer fails. You can download it here: https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/thank-you/net472 Then try to install paint.net afterwards.

That would be a very easy plugin to create. I may post some code later today or tomorrow. In the mean time, you could check out the Ruler plugin.

Ok, so are you're saying the installation process didn't complete, or what? Please provide us with some details.

The tooltip doesn't reflect it, but the Esc key does in fact work as a way to finish the Text tool.

You can use BoltBait's Vignette+ plugin; it allows you to set the Vignette color to white.

Somehow your paint.net installation became broken. You can use this utility to remove the broken installation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed Afterwards, you can install paint.net anew.

Those are not transparent pixels; they are blended pixels. Therefore, adjusting the opacity will not solve your issue. (I've edited the title of this topic to reflect it's about blending) One way you can reduce the colors in the image with the Selective Palette plugin.

Yes, you are correct. It uses an APPX package, but those only work on Windows 10.

Hmm, 'SetupNgen.exe' is failing. We've seen this issue before, but I don't think we ever found a reason for the failure, or a solution.

I won't know until I look at it. Can you post it to PasteBin?

No. The MSI file should be fine. One of the procedures that the MSI needs to do failed. You'll need to run the MSI with logging enabled. Running this will generate a log file on your desktop: msiexec /i PaintDotNet_x64.msi /L*V %UserProfile%\Desktop\pdn.log

Oops, I got too hasty, and forgot to paste the link. https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/UnattendedInstallation.html#10 ie: Open a command prompt, and execute the the installation with the /CreateMSI argument. paint.net.4.0.21.install.exe /CreateMSI

You've already tried Windows Safe Mode, so you already know an anti-malware program is not interfering. Speaking of which, why do you have three?! You should have only one. Since you're on Windows 7, you should be using Security Essentials (on Windows 10 you'd use Defender). Remove those other ones. As for the paint.net installation, the only workaround I can think of is to create an .MSI installer on a second computer, and then use that MSI installer on your Windows 7 system that's having the issue.

Please try installing paint.net while in Windows Safe Mode. That will ensure no third-party software is interfering.

The .NET Framework installation is disappearing. You'll need to install it separately beforehand. Download it here (v4.7.2) : http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=863262 Once you get to this point again, please post a screenshot here.

You are correct. Therefore, paint.net has no control over what's in that Print dialog. Alternatively, you could try the Print It plugin. https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/28520-print-it-tools-effect/
