Bumping after 1,5 years, b/c even with the latest 3.5 betas the automatic install fails while running the internal unzip (see above)

That would save some clicks for those who use the same script every day and would definitely be great!

Thanks for the hint. ScriptLab looks very promising. This brings up a follow-up-question: can I make ScriptLab remember/initially load a certain script so I don't have to click Load and search and select/open the scriptfile in each new PDN session? Edit: Ok, I think I get it. Since ScriptLab is also a plugin anything you said applies to ScriptLab as well, so this isn't possible, right?

This thread seems quite old though Borders N' Shapes is actually no more v1.6 but 1.7 but I couldn't find another thread about it. Just one thing: love that plugin and use it to -guess what- but borders around images, but in a repeating certain color and width. Sadly, the settings won't stick between sessions; it always starts with a 2px black border. Is there a way to make my personal settings persistent (either by me or by you :wink: )?

When I select something on the workspace and press M I'm in the "Move Selection" mode where I get 8 handles to resize and move the selection. It confuses me each time that when I place the cursor in the middle of the selection to move it I get a resize-cursor (arrow) and when I grab a handle I get a move cursor (hand): I think those should be swapped to make working with selections more intuitive.

The built-in updater downloaded the program. But as this install failed I downloaded separately again from http://www.dotpdn.com/files/Paint.NET.3.30.zip I had Paint.NET on this PC for a long time and updated regularly without any problems.

Sorry, I didn't meant to say it was Paint.NET's fault, I was just glad having tracked it down. But you got me wrong: the problem was not the ZIP, it was the EXE inside that actually IS a self-extracting ZIP itself (so this is double-zipped).

I uninstalled the .net frameworks 2 and up and reinstalled 2 and 3. Nothing. Than I tried to read what flashes on the window that quickly closes after opening. It said "Extracting..." which made me try an idea: I tried to open the file "Paint.NET.3.30.exe" in 7-zip and found a "PaintDotNetSetup.exe" and some other files. When I started the "PaintDotNetSetup.exe" manually Paint.NET installed without problems. Problem solved, so the flaw was somewhere in the extracion routine. Anyway: I'd recommend to offer not only a ZIP download that contains an EXE that again contains some other files. Better would be to offer two files: • an EXE (that one that's now in the ZIP) for the normal user • a ZIP with the real installation files (those that are now in the EXE) for advanced users

Ok, I'll try repairing. One thing: I seem to have the .NET Frameworks 3.5, 2.0 and 1.1 installed; does the order of reparing matter?

Yes, I tried restarting; that didn't help. Still no way to install v3.30. Regarding the 1023 MB: I have no idea. The graphic card is a nVidia GeForce 7600GT with 256MB own memory

Hi, I have two equal PC where paint.net is installed and running since a long time (also with the same plugins). Today I was trying to update from v3.22 to v3.30. I used the buildt-in update functionality. 1st PC: no problem, the update went fine. 2nd PC: the update file loaded, the installation started. I received the known message that Paint.NET has to close down to continue. After that I received an error message (I remember something with "...due to an unknown error...") and the installation stopped. This was reproducable so I uninstalled v3.22 to have a clean machine. Then I tried to install v3.30. The installation starts with a window that appears for about 1 second. Then the window disappears and the installation stops. So I'm stuck and can't install v3.30. Any ideas? Her's the pdncrash.log that was written when I tried to update at first:
