Rick Brewster Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 This is a hotfix that fixes a startup crash, and fixes Explorer thumbnails. As usual, you can download the update directly from the website, or you can use the built-in updater via Settings –> Updates –> Check Now. You can also purchase it from the Windows Store, in which case updates will become completely automatic and you’ll never have to worry about it ever again This is the first time that folks will get the chance to have an update through the Windows Store (that is, to update from 4.0.18 to 4.0.19). Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I expect the Store version will be “behind” the Classic version by a day or so, pending Microsoft’s certification and server propagation. Changes: Fixed missing thumbnails in Explorer for non-.PDN images (e.g. .PNG, .JPG), if Paint.NET was configured to open these types by default Fixed a crash at startup that affected some people with a redirected Documents folder (e.g. network share) Here was the announcement for 4.0.18, which had more changes.

Ishi Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks again Rick. I have skipped v4.0.18. Thought I'd wait for feedback before upgrading and will do so for this one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMake Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Great! paint.net became more 'fast'. The Russian version is more informative now. Thank You Rick for your efforts and your hard work for all admirers of paint.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunmaggot Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 wait, now paint.net becomes paid app??? 道生一，一生二，二生三，三生萬物。 non-existence made one, one made two, two made three, three made matters. 道可道，非常道；名可名，非常名。 well-defined principles are not eternal principles, names that can be named are not eternal names.

No. Paint.NET is using the approach of offering paid version of application as a form of donation for development. G'MIC Filter Developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 4 days, but I'll get that number down somehow. My goal is zero.
