Greif Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Is it on the road map to migrate the code-base to use .NET core? Taking advantage of the multi-platform benefits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Nope. Multi-platform runtime does not mean a multi-platform framework. WinForms will still be Windows-only, as will all of the Windows-specific code in Paint.NET.

Rick Brewster Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 BTW this has changed from a "nope" to a "maybe / hopefully / I want to", especially since the announcement of .NET Core 3 including support for WinForms and WPF. And the fact they already have Paint.NET running "in the lab" on .NET Core 3 as per Richard Lander's blog post, https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/05/07/net-core-3-and-support-for-windows-desktop-applications/ 1 1 Quote 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...
NinthDesertDude Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Readers should note that WinForms and WPF in .Net Core 3 will still be Windows-only, so updating to it won't make Paint.NET multi platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evengard Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 AvaloniaUI is crossplatform though, but migrating WinForms to it would be probably too hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I am not porting to Avalonia. It's not even about difficulty, per se, but the volume of work. I'm not rewriting the whole UI, especially when it works just fine and when Avalonia is still an unproven platform (even if it's maturing at a healthy pace). I am not planning on going cross-platform with Paint.NET at this time. I'll definitely blog/tweet about it pretty loudly if I change my plans.
