Reverting Back to the previous stable version is the only solution i have found. I do hope it works with the next Stable release, Either way, it has been a great tool especially for digital Art and my photo edits/repairs for my Articles.

I was not 'begging' for a fix, i was emphasizing the hope that there would be a solution without reverting back. as far as attitude i have no attitude. You on the other hand, gave attitude in your original response.

that goes without saying, but if you wish to find out about the bugs they must first be reported. I can and will revert back to my old version, but i guess trying to be informative is not what is meant to be in forums for software such as this. i stand corrected sir/maddam you are right, i should not rely on "beta" versions of software, and should not rely on the persons who build and establish known "addons/plugins" for such software as competent. Thank you again for your courteous and informative answer.

After updating to the new version of PDN: Paint.NET v3.5.9 Beta, build 4278 I had a crash when trying to use the 'Smudge' Tool, so i uninstalled and reinstalled the new version Smudge 3.0 I continue to get the same crash: File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\Smudge.dll Effect Name: pyrochild.effects.smudge.Smudge Full error message: System.MethodAccessException: PaintDotNet.PdnInfo.get_UserDataPath2() at pyrochild.effects.common.PngBrush.GetSurface() at pyrochild.effects.common.PngBrush.GetSurface(Int32 maxsidelength) at pyrochild.effects.common.PngBrush..ctor(String brushName) at pyrochild.effects.smudge.ConfigToken..ctor() at pyrochild.effects.smudge.ConfigDialog.InitialInitToken() at PaintDotNet.Effects.EffectConfigDialog.Constructor() in D:\src\pdn\pdn_35x\src\Effects\EffectConfigDialog.cs:line 112 at PaintDotNet.Effects.EffectConfigDialog..ctor() in D:\src\pdn\pdn_35x\src\Effects\EffectConfigDialog.cs:line 106 at pyrochild.effects.common.CanvasConfigDialog..ctor() at pyrochild.effects.smudge.ConfigDialog..ctor() at pyrochild.effects.smudge.Smudge.CreateConfigDialog() at PaintDotNet.Menus.EffectMenuBase.RunEffectImpl(Type effectType) in D:\src\pdn\pdn_35x\src\PaintDotNet\Menus\EffectMenuBase.cs:line 799 I really love this tool, it has done so much for my work. Please tell me there is an update or simple correction to the crash.

I,m new to Paint.Net, and have been exploring it...A Lot!...it is awesome, and this plugin is truly an amazing feature, a Must Download! (I Do freelance Photography, and this program gives me a whole new look at my digital photos)
