One additional remark. If the current toggle using Ctrl-B is intended then it may make sense to use the mouse position as new center for Actual Size. Because this way you can use the 'Zoom ro Window' to get an overview, point the mouse to an image element, and then show this element in 100% with the next Ctrl-B.

Works different than in 3.5.11. I prefer the old behaviour. Lets assume you are starting in 'Actual Size' mode 100% and the window is then shrinked to show the sliders. 3.5.11: First Ctrl-B switches to 'Zoom to Window' mode. Maybe the result is 75%. Second Ctrl-B switches off the 'Zoom to Window' mode but the content stays at 75%. 4: First Ctrl-B switches to 'Zoom to Window' mode. Maybe the result is 75%. Second Ctrl-B switches off the 'Zoom to Window' mode but the content is now at 100%. So the second Ctrl-B is like Ctrl-0 ('Actual Size'). I guess this changes happened at the time that the Button in the statusbar has been introduced.

- Sliders do not show a focus rectangle at all. - Radiobuttons: The top line of the focus rectangle is not visible. - CheckBoxes: The top and the right line of the focus rectangle is not visible. Here an example of the checkbox: 3.5.11 shows the focus as expected.

Good and bad case

Steps to repro: - Start Paint.NET - Switch to 'Actual Size' - Shrink window so that both sliders are visible - Switch to 'Zoom to Window' - The 800 and 600 markers of the rulers no longer match the image. Looks like they are off by the pixelwidth of the sliders.

Fixed in 4.0.5268.

Sorry, not in your version. The UI of the next one has a canvas with all the key and mouse functions you know from Paint.NET. And the basic layout of the dialog is like the current 'PrintIt' tool effect. Which makes it easier to handle the maximize case.

Yes, Paint,NET does not really support the dpi value. Even effect plugins are not getting the dpi value. If you copy a layer to the clipboard then horizontal and vertical resolution is set to zero in the DIB. That's why new assumes 96dpi. If I remember correctly then Rick does not like to support dpi and alpha because of all these issues with the clipboard handling between applications. I would vote for it ;-) But maybe this changed in 4 with the support of the png format on the clipboard. Or Paint.NETs internal format the 'MaskedSurface' supports it. Click edit and then in the second step click 'full editor'

It works for me. Maybe your email client is not registered in a way that Paint.NET can open it. But probably just Rick knows the method Paint.NET is using to send the mailto; request.

Hope it is usefull. Even if printing is nowadays less important. Still there are some features on our internal list. Next should be a collection tab which allows you - instead of printing immediatly - to collect some images and print them together (on tiled pages).

Update 0.6 (9.6.2014) - Added 'Header&Footer' tab. - Menu->'Repeat Print It' (Ctrl-F) is now ignored. - The dpi value of the image will be requested in a separate dialog now. This request will be removed if a newer version of Paint.NET offers the DPI value of the image to the plugin.

;-) Just wondering that there are no error reports... Different hardware causes problems typically.

To measure a horizontal or vertical distance just select use a rectangle select. The statusbar will show the length. For diagonals or areas you may use the 'MeasureSelection' plugin.

Thanks. Maybe continue with the other new ui elements if there is some time left.

Would be nice to provide a how to. I can see some new ControlInfoPropertyNames SliderSmallChangeZ = 24, SliderLargeChangeZ = 25, UpDownIncrementZ = 26, SliderShowTickMarksZ = 27, Footnote = 28, RangeWraps = 29, ControlStyle = 30, ControlColors = 31, and a SliderControlStyle So I expect configUI.SetPropertyControlValue(sliderPropertyName, ControlInfoPropertyNames.ControlStyle, SliderControlStyle.XXX); will activate the decorations But how to set the colors? And what does ControlInfoPropertyNames.Footnote mean?

Update 0.5 (5.6.2014) - Added watermark tab - Added 'Printout Name' to the printer tab. This name is used from some drivers in the progress dialog or by printers which create a file instead of a printout (like PDFCreator). - Added 'Printout Copies'. In earlier version you had to set this value in the printer properties. - Click to preview toggles the visibility of the cues (i.e. for margins)

Just wondering why its RBG and not RGB...

Is the RBG order of the colors a test whether users are reading the labels in the dialog? ;-)

Update 0.4 (2.6.2014) - Added 'Tiles' Tab. Tiling allows to place an image multiple times on the same page.

The inverted algorithm is: Divide the rectangle on the long side in two equal halfs and then add one half. Do the same with this half. This works with all rectangle but the advantage of the 1:sqrt(2) ratio is that each half has again the 1:sqrt(2) ratio. This will not happen with Phi or other ratios ;-)

Maybe add a feature to use rectangles with a width-to-height ratio of 1:sqrt(2) instead of squares (The A papers aspect ratio). You may also fill the squares with an image from the clipboard.

After a restart of Paint.NET you will find the plugin at Menu->Effects->Tools->Print It (oder für deutschsprachige Anwender unter Menu->Effekte->Werkzeuge->Druck es 😉 Compatibility Paint.NET 3.5.11 and 4.0.3 (Tested on Windows XP and Windows 7) Supported languages English, Deutsch Keywords Print, Header and Footer, Watermark, Tiles, Multipage, Poster, Drucken, Kopf- und Fußzeilen, Wasserzeichen, Kacheln, Mehrseitig, Plakat Configuration options http://www.comsquare.ch/files/downloads/PrintIt/PrintIt.Dialog.PrinterPage.jpg Select the printer and the basic paper settings. The printer properties button allows you to set more specific details (like Duplex). If you switch the printer then it may happen that one or more of the other settings are no longer selected (i.e. because the printer does not support the previously selected paper format). Just choose one of the available settings. The printout name is used in progress dialog, as proposed filename for file printers, and as {Print.Name} keyword in text output. http://www.comsquare.ch/files/downloads/PrintIt/PrintIt.Dialog.LayoutPage.jpg The 'paper area' choice defines which area of the paper is used to print the image. 'Image size' defines the size of the image in the area and 'image location' the alignment in the area. In the preview the non-printable area of the paper is marked in red, user defines margins in green. http://www.comsquare.ch/files/downloads/PrintIt/PrintIt.Dialog.TilesPage.jpg You may print an image multiple times in the area depending on the 'number of tiles' choice. The distance between the tiles areas can be set via the spacing options. In the preview the spacing is colored in red. http://www.comsquare.ch/files/downloads/PrintIt/PrintIt.Dialog.HeaderFooterPage.jpg You may add a header and/or a footer text line to your printout. Each line has three areas: Left aligned, centered, and right aligned text. The texts may contain keywords which will be replaced at printout time (see Keywords). Font name, size, and style can be selected. Header and footer will be placed at the top or respectively at the bottom of the page area. The page area will then be shrinked by the height value. If the font is larger than the height then the line will overlap the page area. In the preview header and footer are colored in blue. http://www.comsquare.ch/files/downloads/PrintIt/PrintIt.Dialog.WatermarkPage.jpg A watermark can be printed as overlay to the paper area (or the tiles area). You may select the text of the watermark, font, style, and color. The height of the text is always 10% of the area height in the moment. Afrer the look of the watermark is defined the watermark can be placed, aligned, and rotated in the area. Keywords used in text output In the moment the following keywords are defined: {Print.Name} The Name of the printout from the Printer tab. {Print.Page} The current page number {Print.Pages} The number of pages Remark This version is not final but it should be good enough to discuss what you expect from a printing tool. I'm not telling what's on the list in the moment. Tell us what you like to get. Issues depending on the Paint.NET plugin API - The Paint.NET API does not provide the title (or filename of the image). The plugin uses the Title 'Document' to show progress or as argument for an PDF printer. History 0.9 (3.9.2014) - The preview controls moved to a collapsable control outside of the tabs. - The preview control allows to activate a 1:1 mode. In this mode a zoom value of 100% means that that the size of the document on screen is exactly the size of the sheet. For this mode you have to enter the calibrated DPI value of your screen. . Printer tab: The entries in the printer names combobox are sorted now - Printer tab: Sheet and poster size infos respect the preview unit setting - Printer tab: Virtual sheet tells the amount of real sheets - Printer tab: Added 'Collate' switch if number of copies is greater than one (Be warned not all printer drivers are able to handle this) - Printer tab: Some printers do not support 'Copies'. In this case the Number of copies entry will be disabled. - Printer tab: Added printer status and type information. Status message changes may be slow on some devices. It depends in most cases on the printer driver. - Printer tab: Added print source: In the moment just the active layer. 'Print It - collection' will allow you to create a collection of images in the future. . Printer tab: Added feature to restrict the print source to the selected area - Printer tab: Added range of sheets: All sheets, Selected range of sheets - Printer tab: Added a test print button. Test page can be used to check the printable area of the sheet and to correct the offset later. - If the printer test page shows that the center is not in the center of the sheet then the offset of the printable area may be wrong. To nodify the offset you can edit the .ppd file of the printer or just add the variables PAH=x and/or PAV=y to the printer comment (x and y are values in cm). - Layout tab: Info texts for area size, original image size and new image size are implemented. - Layout tab: The new image size shows you the real print dpi value which helps to decide if the original image provides enough pixels. - Layout tab: Scaling control of "Image Size = Scale Print Size of Image" shows now a 'keep in sync' button to keep the aspect ratio of the image intact. - Layout tab: The margins control should be more user friendly now - The text of the OK button has been changed to 'Print' 0.8 (12.8.2014) - Poster printing allows to stretch one image to multiple pages - F1 key links to the forum page of 'Print It' - Shows in the title line the active element to print 0.7 (12.07.2014) see download link above - Replaced the preview control with a more generic version - Added OptionControls and contextmenu to handle zoom, location, and alignment of the document in the preview. This includes setting to control background and passepartout colors. Most of the standard keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions are supported in the preview. - Fixed some minor issues on printout. 0.6 (9.6.2014) - Added 'Header&Footer' tab. - Menu->'Repeat Print It' (Ctrl-F) is now ignored. - The dpi value of the image will be requested in a separate dialog now.

Tiling allows to place an image multiple times on the same page. 0.3 (31.5.2014) - First public release PrintIt.Effectv0.9.zip (latest supported version is paint.net 4.2.16)

I had to change the subject because the canvas has the same issue here. Means the issue is not specific to the Save configuration dialog (Probably because a simular method is used to draw canvas and preview. To reproduce in my case: Open an image where the canvas does not need to show sliders in Maximum view (view size must be set to 'Actual Size'). Shrink the window so that the canvas shows sliders. Maximze window Restore window. Sliders are visible again but they are set to full size. Dragging the canvas content or resizing the window a little bit sets the sliders to the expected size.

It seems to happen only in the case that in Maximize state the dialog does not need to show the sliders because the dialog space is large enough to show the whole image. Then Restore shows the sliders again but they are set to full size. This does not happen in 3.5.11.

If the preview control has sliders active and you Maximize and Restore the dialog window then the size of the slider is no longer correct and you are not able to scroll in the preview. Resizing the dialog fixes the sliders issue. (Win7 64bit).
