  1. That's the worst idea ever. It would completely defeat the expiration system.

    That's the point. But maybe you should provide something in the options, or even something where you type something like "I understand I am using an obsolete version of Paint.NET but just don't want to upgrade yet." Then the expiration would be turned off. Or maybe provide instructions on your website for a registry change. What if the new version won't install and you can't uninstall the old one either? I have that problem on my other machine...thank goodness it's not a beta version! :D

  2. Why do beta versions of Paint.NET expire? I mean sure, it's good encouragement to upgrade, but there are much better ways than to not even let someone use Paint.NET unless they either upgrade or change the system clock. Paint.NET is a free program, and beta versions are not trial versions. A much better method of encouragement to upgrade would be after the date when it would expire, to put up a nag screen every time you load Paint.NET. But there could be a check box on that screen which you could check to stop it from appearing. I just don't get why it just prevents you from being able to use it. Any ideas why?

  3. One of my complaints with Paint.NET (of which I don't have very many!) is that when you go to File->Print ( :Print: ) it uses the Windows XP Photo Printing Wizard, which sucks IMHO. My main complaint with it is that you cannot print an image in actual size, probably because that wizard was designed for photos, which not all graphics are! Even MSPaint can do this, so why not Paint.NET? Another thing is my laptop has problems with printing in MSPaint (probably due to the widescreen monitor) forcing me to paste it into a program like WordPad, which is very inconvenient!

    So I suggest a simple feature: provide printing support with a standard Print dialog box like other programs do. That is all it will take. :)
