Rick Brewster Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Unfortunately there was a nasty crashing bug that snuck into the Line/Curve tool in the 4.0.7 release earlier today. So, here’s a 4.0.8 update with the fix. As usual, you can download the update directly from the website, or you can use the built-in updater via Settings –> Updates –> Check Now. Here’s the official, and very brief, changelog for 4.0.8: Fixed: The Line/Curve tool was crashing when drawing vertical lines of particular lengths.As for 4.0.7, it even has its own forum post and blog post, but here is its changelog for convenience: Changed: .NET Framework 4.6 is now required, and will be installed if necessary New: Swedish translation Fixed: Title bar now uses the Windows 10 accent color Fixed: Floating windows were not remembering their locations on some non-English systems Improved: Performance of "committing" (finishing) is now up to 10x faster, which greatly improves responsivness for quick drawing operations Improved Shapes tool quality when drawn without antialiasing, with line styles, and at 1 pixel brush width Improved Shapes tool rendering performance on CPUs with many cores (8+) Improved: Installing a "complex" custom Shape no longer causes very long hangs at app startup Improved: Image->Resize is now much faster Fixed: Image->Resize would sometimes cause the main window to flicker or lose focus Fixed: Image->Resize would sometimes do nothing instead of resizing the image to a very large size Fixed: Labels on the vertical ruler were misleading because they were on the wrong side of the tick mark Improved the ruler’s performance Fixed: Edit->Copy now works if the data copied to the clipboard is larger than 2GB Fixed: Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys now work in the main canvas area Fixed: Paint.NET will no longer incorrectly block Windows from restarting Fixed: Rotate/Zoom no longer crashes on very large images Improved: Reduced CPU/GPU and battery use when the app is not in the foreground Improved: Reduced CPU and battery use of the UI for the Move and Shapes tools Added: Custom Shapes XAML now supports cardinal splines via PolyCurveSegment (a new PathSegment type) Improved: Various performance improvements Fixed: Several rare or uncommon crashes Enjoy! 4 The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratyush Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks Rick for the update. You are awesome. Please, add few more blending modes, especially color blending mode. Color can be used for many things. It works better than recolor tool. While one blending mode (XOR) doesn't have much uses. I think adding blending mode will not be as difficult as new features. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fixed: Floating windows were not remembering their locations on some non-English systems Long awaited on my german system! Big Thanks! A nice and late christmas gift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondenson Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks a lot for this update! I had a question... I remember that in one of the former versions (can't remember which one), I could prepare some text effects with powerpoint for e.g. (wordart) and copy/paste on Paint.net without issue. When I do it now, there is a white backgroung on the wordart object instead of the transparent one I had on Powerpoint. I hope I was clear enough, thanks in advance,I wish you a great New Year's Eve To see my Paint.net creations Youtube → click here & Facebook → there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midora Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fixed: Scaling of cursors in HighDPI. No idea if this is a fix in paint.net or .NET 4.6.1. Nethertheless if you are working with a 250% screen scaling then this is a big improvement ;-) Thanks and Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I had a question...

When I do it now, there is a white backgroung on the wordart object instead of the transparent one I had on Powerpoint. Hello Bondenson, some time ago another member asked for the same issue. I do not know if it is paint.net but it is not just Powerpoint but the other Office products as well. Anyway, I came up with a work around.

hamwizard Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thank you very much for this, it's really appreciated. If I could (please♥) ask for one feature in the future, it's to be able to zoom right in, yet pan slightly off the canvas. Here's a dummy shot of what I'd think it would look like.

Rick Brewster Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 hamwizard, That's been requested a bazillion times already. It's on the short list. The line tool is not working. I restarted PDN several times, but nothing works.
