This update introduces overscroll, which is the ability to scroll the canvas past the bounds of the image. This has been a highly requested feature for several years now, and it's finally here :)

 

Also included is a big serving of miscellaneous bug fixes and small improvements.

 

As usual, you can download the update directly from the website, or you can use the built-in updater via Settings –> Updates –> Check Now.

 

Change log:

  • New: The canvas may now be scrolled past the edge of the image
  • New: When holding the spacebar, you may scroll using the keyboard arrow keys (in addition to click-and-drag panning). Holding Ctrl will scroll at 10x the rate.
  • New: You can now hold Ctrl+Shift while clicking on the floating window icons in order to reset their location and docking. Ctrl+Shift along with the appropriate hotkey (F5, F6, F7, F8) also does the trick.
  • Improved: The rate of auto-scrolling, which triggers when the mouse is at the canvas edge and a button is being held down, has been improved and is based on time instead of frames
  • Improved: Fixed Size selection drawing now defaults to 400x300 pixels instead of 4x3 inches
  • Improved: Tooltips for Custom Shapes now include their file system location
  • Improved: Edit->Invert Selection should perform much faster when used with unmodified selections from the Magic Wand tool
  • Improved: When running within VMWare, "Hardware accelerated rendering" is disabled by default (Microsoft's WARP is faster than VMWare's D3D emulation)
  • Fixed: Erratic brush/pencil drawing when running within VMWare (this is caused by a bug in Win32's GetMouseMovePointEx API, and is not actually limited to VMWare)
  • Fixed: Color Picker tool could crash if used at the bottom of the image, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/109248-paintnet-crashes-when-color-picker-off-screen-update/
  • Fixed: There was a glitch in the Gradient tool's rendering when dx was equal to dy, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/107380-gradient-bugs-in-direction-and-length/
  • Fixed: The Layers window would sometimes auto-scroll the active layer to the bottom when performing certain operations, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/32527-layers-auto-scrolling-when-adding-or-duplicating/
  • Fixed some mouse cursor glitches when using panning using the spacebar
  • Fixed many glitches and a few crashes in the image size dialogs (File->New, Image->Resize, Image->Canvas Size)
  • Fixed a problem with inconsinstently skipped input when using the arrow keys to move tool handles, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/108932-selected-area-moving-with-direction-keys-bug/
  • Fixed: Custom Shapes did not always have the correct bounding box, and would have weird behavior as a result
  • Fixed: Line/Curve handles were unusable for up to 500ms after adjusting properties in the toolbar
  • Fixed some crashes and soft hangs in the Save Configuration dialog
  • Fixed a blemish at the top of the main window when Windows is set to 200% DPI
  • Fixed: There were some precision bugs with IndirectUI sliders that would cause them to get "stuck" at certain values (mostly affects effect plugins)
  • Improved: IndirectUI's Angle Chooser control now supports the DecimalPlaces property (for plugins)
  • Improved: IndirectUI's Slider controls now support all-negative ranges (e.g. [-200, -20])

Enjoy!

Many thanks Rick. This update is awesome.

I think Overscroll is going to be a big hit!

i have small problem. i went to install this update. opened pdn but noticed many of the plugins i added werent there. so i opened pdn from my flash drive v.4.0.09 and they were there..what is wrong .

 

 

This was an issue with PDN Beta 4.10.6022.820 which was supposed to be fixed at 4.10.6023.39477.

 

You might have to go to the Effects folder, right click at your individual plugin DLL's, go to Properties and Unblock them then click OK. Do this to your DLLs and your plugins should appear next time you open PDN. However, if the DLLs were copied from another computer, you need to "Take Ownership" of those DLLs, otherwise unblocking them would not be persistent. This happened to me.

I love this program and have been using it for several years. Thanks for that.

 

On the latest update, when I zoom in on the image, rather than being centered, the thing I was trying to look at is away in a corner somewhere. I have to scroll to get to it again. Is there a way to make it work as it did in previous versions?

That seems to be the new overscroll feature zooming to wherever the cursor is pointed, not the center of the screen. But I agree that it could use some tuning. I've noticed that, for example, zooming out on a small image with Ctrl-0 tends to stick the image off in a corner, or even partly off-screen. It's also easy now to accidentally scroll the image halfway off-screen by getting too close to the edge with tools like Rectangle Select or Eraser.

Ctrl+0 maintains the same pixel coordinate underneath the mouse cursor. I find it's more useful this way, and more intuitive once you realize this is what's going on.

Been using Paint.NET for many years now and loving it. With the latest update, I seem to have the same problem as some other people in this thread: when zooming out or into a picture that doesn't fill up the entire screen, the picture will always shoot off into a corner instead of staying reasonably centered.

I fail to see how that's a problem. Why does the canvas need to stay centered?

The current behavior seems more reasonable and expected; it uses the position of the cursor for zooming.

Also keep in mind you can use Ctrl+B to toggle zoom to window.

But it doesn't use the position of the cursor for zooming. No matter where I click, the picture will jump into a corner. This is when I use the zoom tool, by the way. When I hold down ctrl it zooms into and away from the cursor as expected.

The built-in updater doesn't seem to detect the new version for me. Here's the HTTP request and response I captured via Fiddler:

tommy, Hmm. Looks like some of the update manifests didn't land on the site. I'm reuploading now -- should work within the hour. Thanks!!

Okay I've confirmed that the Zoom tool is busted, and I've filed a bug for the next update. Thanks!

Thanks, Rick !

 

Paint.NET is the must in my FLOSS workflow... Even though Windows is no longer my primary OS.

 

Hopefully, there're a way to run Paint.NET 4.X in Linux in the future...
