Not a show stopper, but it never seems to get fixed, so here it is: applies to Open or Save As>...
In Paint.Net your file is named foo.bla, on disk your original file is named bar.bla, you make your edits to foo and you want to replace bar, but not overwrite bar, so...
e.g.
File>Save As> browse to bar's Directory>R-Clk on bar or twice-click bar's filename>Rename bar.bla to bar.bla.orig let's say.>Press Save to save foo (which was automatically renamed to 'bar.bla' by the mouse-clicking bar during its renaming) it fails(!). Re-type or add white space to 'bar.bla'(which was foo.bla) and it now Save works.
Bug level: Annoying, must always work-around. Severity: Possible data-loss, expect file pickers to be perfectly stable and solid.
I think i have seen this in many freeware file pickers, where is this code being copied from??
Cheers!

Should i move to 3.07? Does it have less bugs, has it left Beta? Is 3.05 still beta anyways?
Regarding files on desktop, there were none left there, if you give me a name of one i'll look around for it/them. I had about 4 crashes before i posted, a few more since, i think anytime i try to rotate 90 Counter clock it has a good chance of dying, so now i save and rotate in the OS, then go back to work. Hope it gets fixed!
Cheers!

File Picker issues...
in Troubleshooting & Bug Reports

Sorry you cannot follow it Brewster...
If the File Picker is being hooked from Paint.Net, then it is a M$ bug, not Paint.Net's issue, that can explain why i see it so often.
I think what may be missed is, while in the File Picker, you rename a file, it's old name becomes your file's new name, but that is what we want, we are replacing the renamed file, try it and see, the steps are right there, sequentially stated in the 1st post, the bug is that it thinks the file still exists even after you just renamed it(!) so you cannot save, there are work-arounds, but that slows work down, right?
Cheers!
