When editing photo-images (the vast majority of which are JPGs), I generally resize to around ? x 600 to conveniently view in Win 7's image viewer with a minimum of autoresizing needed by the latter. This is, for larger images, typically the percentage shown (at the bottom) by Paint.net plus one percent. Working from the top menu, Image/Resize by default is set to "By Absolute Size", which I have to change to "By Percentage". Is there any way, either a setting I've missed or an edit in a config file, to change the default to Percentage, since that's what I'm using the vast majority of the time? Many thanks, if there's a relatively simple solution.

Hi all, Just started with Paint.NET after umpteen years of "evaluating" Graphic Workshop, and am happy with it so far. My old XP system died, after 9 or 10 years, and I've now got a nifty new 2-core 64 bit system with Win 7 for about half what I paid for the old one. When downloading the installer, the page implied there was a manual which could also be downloaded for offline use. However, when I clicked the link for that, I got directed to the FAQ and then to here. Did I misread the page, and the forums are it for help? Two other points while I'm here -- and my apologies if I'm guilty of hijacking my own topic. 1) I can't see any way of setting up a forum profile. Do I have to have a certain number of posts before I can do that, as is the case with some other support forums? Avast (anti-virus), where I've been active for many years, requires 20 posts before a new member can edit his profile or send IMs, to reduce spam problems. 2) This is sort of a wish-list request for the next (or some future) version which I couldn't find brought up by searching. A directory tree panel would be a handy addition, to simplify moving completed work from within the program Thanks and best. (Edit) Found the profile setup myself, thanks anyway.
