Greif 0 Posted September 22, 2016 Report 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 post Share on other sites
Rick Brewster 1,757 Posted September 22, 2016 Report 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 1,757 Posted November 2, 2018 Report 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 post Share on other sites
Joshua Lamusga 263 Posted November 2, 2018 Report 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 post Share on other sites

Evengard 0 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 AvaloniaUI is crossplatform though, but migrating WinForms to it would be probably too hard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Brewster 1,757 Posted February 6, 2020 Report 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.
