The sad thing is that rmh2468 has a valid point. The advertisements on the homepage attract far more attention than true download link.

Or just do "Image - Canvas size..." (Alt-I, S) and adjust the pixel size width and height to your liking. Make sure that the Anchor is set to Middle. No plugin required.

Aahh, I missed it. I just made a few changes. No worries: Cosmetics only.

I've tried a number of Screen Capture programs that I use from time to time: Standard Windows [WIN-PrtScn] Window Clippings PicPick GreenShot XnViewMP Screengrab Firefox extension For each, copy-paste worked just fine. As #softlion is mentioning "drag-and-drop", I did some further testing: Firefox - drag-and-drop image works fine Chromium - drag-and-drop does not work Internet Explorer - drag-and-drop does not work Hmmm, what other applications would I want to drag images from.... But should we expect this to work? Isn't it up to the 'drag-from' program to make something available or not to the 'drop-into' program?

To me, it looks like the copy-paste issue has been properly fixed. I've just tried it on my W8.1 64-bit PC using the latest versions of Chromium, Firefox and Internet Explorer. With each browser I visited a different web site and (obviously) copied a different picture. All copied images pasted [Ctrl-Alt-V] perfectly in today's paint.net.

I've just made one more small correction. Please go ahead with the approval.

This happened to my installation as well. The UI language being Dutch, the language selection menu actually pointing to Portugese.

See sceencapture of an example where the OneNote icon in RocketDock has been replaced by the PdN icon. Of course it's easy to blame RocketDock. After all it's old, no longer maintained and it does have its peculiarities. But this this has come up on and off since recently. Is it related to Paint.net v4, some Windows 8.1 update, Rocketdock getting lost on its icons, ...? I cannot tell, but I think it suspicious that it's always the PdN icon that is the replacing icon. Edit 3/3/2014 - Added second screenshot demonstrating another occurrance of the phenomenon

paint.net is working perfectly on Windows 8 or 8.1. This counts for the v4 beta as well as for the current v3.5 Question #2 really is a regular usage question. Did you already check the online Help? (You can use "Edit - Paste as new image" or better shortcut key CTRL+ALT+V for this.)

Nice, I hope you found an easy way to bulk-approve it all? Quite by chance I noticed - and corrected - a minor error in the Dutch translation. Will you be doing more (bulk) approvements with the next release?

I had a similar experience. In my case ALL translations were in fact mine, be it that in some places I'd made corrections/improvements, which caused for multpile translation instances. My guess is that somehow the Crowdin system does not select the most recent translation. Yesterday, I went through all translations and removed all doubles/tripples I'd created over the past week and made sure only the best (most recent) translations remained. I'm pretty confident that the next release will show my latest (improved) translations alright.

Ha, I've been experiencing a similar thing for the last couple of weeks/months, where icons in Rocketdock are randomly replaced with the PdN icon. Of course Rocketdock is a pretty ancient program that is no longer maintained and things were always easily fixed by bringing up the Icon options dialogue, but still .... intriguing. If I daresay: could it be related to PdN v4 alfa's and beta's? Mine is: W8.1 with all latest updates Well protected against malware

Hi Rick, Upon installation of this latest build, I got the impression that some of my last-minute translation updates hadn't made in time. Yet looking at the time of your previous post my latest updates should have been included. Looking further I found that the paint.net folder contained a new file "PaintDotNet.Strings.3.nl.resources" as well as the file that I had been building until now "PaintDotNet.Strings.3.nl-NL.resources". For nostalgic reasons or otherwise the program had decided to pick up my old *.nl-NL-resources file rather than the latest *.nl.resources. This was easily fixed by removing the elder file, but it does bring up the question: Since there are two conventions, how do you determine whether to use the abbreviated language naming format (nl) or the full format (nl-NL)? Mind you, nl-BE also exists as a language variant.

Rick, I just want to say that Crowdin is just perfect by me and I wouldn't mind continuing with it. One minor thing: as long as there's just one contributor for a language, its translations cannot be voted upon, let alone approved. I assume we can live with that. Cheers, Stephan

After import of the resx file, is there a nifty trick to bulk-commit all imported translations, or do I have to check them one by one using CTRL+Enter?

The Dutch translation file has been updated for pre-release 5143. See previous message in this thread.

I'd say that an earlier posting of mine is related to this.

Hi, Nowadays you see programs that install in the C:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\ or C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\ folder, rather than c:\program files\. I have mixed feelings about this, because it confuses me where a particular program is installed. But I do understand the benefits. Installation in c:\program files\ requires administrator rights, whereas installation in the AppData can be done without (administrator rights). The same counts for pdn plugins. Currently they need to be placed in c:\program files\Paint.Net\plugins, which can only be done with administrator rights. In a strictly managed environment I'd need to ask my system administrator to help me add a few plugins to the pdn install folder structure. (Really, our system administrator can not be bothered with such trivial requests ;-) But if there was a secundary location where plugins can reside, e.g. C:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Paint.Net\Plugins\ Then any (low-rights) user could add his own plugins to an existing Paint.Net installation without the involvement of an administrator. Wouldn't that be great? Maybe such a scheme could be included in the upcoming PDN 4?

What kind of language contribution were you actually thinking of?

The Dutch translation file has been updated for pre-release 5105. See first message in this thread.

Looks interesting. For the Dutch translation I've got a pretty nice setup based on Zeta Resources Editor (http://zetaresourceeditor.codeplex.com/) plus a few batch files, but I can see the benefit of a collaborative community system. Free license for open source / academic. Do you think you'll be able to pull that off? Account setup will have to be done centrally (by Rick c.s.) Will it be possible to import the existing translations (NL, FI, PT, PL)? I would not be a happy chappy having to start all over (again). How would (new) translators apply to join in? Application procedure? Stephan

Pre-release build 5086 appears to have received a couple of new texts. (It would be nice if this would not have to be discovered by chance ;-) I've updated the Dutch translation file in the first message in this thread.

Voor download- en installatie-instructies, zie post #12 in deze discussie. Kort en goed: zorg dat het bestand PaintDotNet.Strings.3.nl-NL.resources terechtkomt in de map C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\

DRAW SHAPE while holding SHIFT creates the shape in a symmetrical form. Very handy, but there is a snag. It looks like the rotation anchor is generally positioned halfway the width and halfway the heigth of a shape. For symmetrical shapes (created while holding SHIFT), it would be a benefit if the rotation anchor be positioned at the intersection of the symmetry axes, thus making rotation behave more naturally. DIY example: Draw a symmetrical triangle while holding Shift Rotate the triangle Awkward
