pstein Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 If I drag a picture from WiNExplorer I am always prompted if I want to open it as a new picture or a new layer. How can I tell Paint.net to ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY open it as a new picture and don't aks me any more in the future? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Normally I don't drag images for opening, but I've tried now here in my Windows 7 SP1 and no dialogue appears. A bit more information about your system configuration may be helpful. However I believe, that it is not a problem of your paint.net but of your Windows. Update: The dialogue appears, if you have already opened an image in PDN. I'm afraid, that you can't change this behavior because this question is indeed neccessary.

pstein Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 @iron67 Thank you for the answer. However you wrote "this question is indeed necessary". I don't agree in general. Why not letting users decide whether this question is necessary or not. Just add an option if the user wants to be asked or not. Is there an official FeatureRequest tracker?

homebrew Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Indeed necessessary because there's no feature like in photoshop, where if you place a picture into the canvas you open a new file if none is open; and as a new layer if there is a file already open. Then when you drag on the tab bar you got a new file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
