zhuk Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just started out with Paint.NET...of course I have a total n00b-ish question Is there a downloadable version of Paint.NET's help files available? Only asking because I have a chronic back-pain issue and can only stand @ my desktop setup; which I why i just got a laptop so I can sort of recline - but no net connection on it. Hence I have to go back n forth between them for access to Paint's Help etc. A downloadable version would be much less painful...but i'm not hopeful And one more xtra stupid :?: if I may :oops: As far as regular updates go...if I haven't got a net connection, can I just install the new PdN version over the old one via flash stick as they become available?

Mike Ryan Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I actually asked Rick if I could port it into a downloadable format and he does not want it to happen. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhuk Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey no worries...just thought I'd ask on the offchance! thanks for the fast reply Mike (btw, any opinions on that update ? gratefully accepted. I know its probably an insanely dumb one :wink: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Any way you can get connection to your laptop? Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 If you get the setup .exe from another computer that does have internet and execute it on yours, then yes, you can.

zhuk Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ahh brilliant, Crimson! ie Just what I did to install PDN initially. thanks a lot for that :wink: Ash ~ Hey I wish..unfortunately no though. I'm battling with a dialup connection on the desktop as it is. ADSL/wireless is just a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 As for the help, try an offline browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagna Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 My advice is simple. Use WinHTTrack. That's what I use for mirroring the english help so I can easily see when Rick updates a picture or a page and I update the localized version then. Just have WinHTTrack point at the help index file and let 'er rip. After that you can just copy the entire directory where the mirror is downloaded and just browse it on any browser by simply pointing at your local copy.

zhuk Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 ^^Just Googled WinHTTrack...what a bloody good idea, Zagna! thanks for that heads-up Hey the extra non-PDN stuff you learn here Embarassingly, i'd never heared of offline browsing! I can see a steep learning curve coming on though...yay, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhuk Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 update re offline browser>> Even a total non-geek can do it, amazingly. HTTrack missed some screenshots in the tutorial but I found another freeware offline prog GetLeft - in case anyone's interested - which worked beautifully. Much obliged for that info Zagna :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
