Holy bloody potato that worked! Where can I find information on changing the defaults? I did a search and found but the link to the solution presented on that page is dead.

I have captured a GIS image from a government website that shows the boundary lines of real property parcels. I would like one of these parcels to be highlighted to make it easier to spot among all the others. This particular GIS site appears to render the boundary lines in a rasterized (is that the right word?) format instead of a vectored format so instead of an actual smooth, continuous line I get a bunch of little one and two pixel segments that have diagonal gaps at their corners - this means that if I use the fill bucket tool I end up covering the entire image with the highlighting color and not just the one parcel. I have attached a closeup of the jagged (rasterized?) line here in case the above wasn't clear. Is there any hope of me being able to quickly and easily fill in the area that isn't completely enclosed at the pixel level?

Many times when I am labeling a photo the only way to get text that is easy to read is to draw a box filled in with white and then put the text over the top of it. The ability to draw a text box that fills in the background automatically and lets me start to type immediately (with only the background immediately behind my text being filled in with the solid cover) would save many steps.

The update notice should definitely be moved to the end of the session - when I open paint.net I am opening it to use it right then and there and usually don't have time to stop what I'm doing, download the update then restart the application. I wouldn't mind downloading the update in the background then automatically installing the next time I open paint.net, but don't force the update right then and there.

When I open up paint.net it is to perform a particular job. It would be exceptionally helpful to be greeted with a prompt along the lines of: There is an update available. Would you like to download it now then install as soon as you have finished with your current session? This would be much preferable than having to put whatever it was that I was about to do on hold or to tell it not to update now then forgetting to complete the update task until the next time I need to do something.
