anderpainter Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 It's great to be able to open multiple images in Paint.NET. As a technical writer, though, I don't understand why its image-switching commands (on the Windows menu) are called "Next Tab" and "Previous Tab". When I saw that, I thought there was a way to show tabs for images. I hunted through Help before realizing these "tabs" didn't actually exist. When the MDI feature was added, the release notes said that it "worked like tabs in a browser". That's true—but the images are in a list, not on tabs. So in Paint.NET's Help, rather than this: Next Tab: This will switch to the image that is next in the image list.Previous Tab: This will switch to the previous image in the image list. ...wouldn't this be a bit clearer?: Next Image: Switch to the next image in the image list.Previous Image: Switch to the previous image in the image list. (You'll notice I've removed the "will's", too. In documentation, it's not necessary to continually predict the future; present tense is fine. You might consider neatening up all of Paint.NET's docs this way.) BTW, I think it'd be very helpful to have tabs that were synchronized with the image list, and be able to switch by picture or filename. And if you add tabs, you won't have to bother changing those commands. :wink: Cheers, a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Fair enough, you're right This won't change in version 3.xx though, there isn't enough benefit to fixing this. For the v4 stuff though I will file a bug.

anderpainter Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Woo, v4—is that the one that's going to have vector layers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuinfinityPDN Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Read popular feature requests. PDN will never have vector layers. Quote -- Make an Explosion in Space-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Uhhh no ... no vector layers. Not sure where that idea came from.

BoltBait Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Of course, with Text Layers, it would only be a hop, skip, and a jump to vector layers... :twisted: Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
