tehvince Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The previous build and the most recent build both froze when I tried to "save as" an edited image. However, if I simply "save"d over the image I was editing, it worked fine. When crashing, it would crash before prompting for quality (saving as a jpeg) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITMAN-X- Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 What folder is Save As trying to bring up in it's dialog box for saving to. Find that folder and remove any video files you may have in it and try again. DivX has been know to do this and it common to see Save As crashs when there are video files in the folder that Paint.NET Save As box is pointing to.

tehvince Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 It happens wherever I try to save. I just tried making a new folder with nothing in it to save in and it still crashed. After clicking "save as" my computer switches to the last window I had open (So if I were in firefox before paint.net, it would switch to firefox, or if I were chatting before I was trying to save, it would switch to the chat window) and paint.net becomes irresponsive and any time I try to click anywhere in paint.net it beeps with the "you can't click here" beep.

HITMAN-X- Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ok this does not sound like Paint.NET but a nasty virus or program. Run a Virus scan (A good one, AVG Free may not be the best one to pick as it wont do a rootkit). After that use a adware remover. Now find the install folder of Paint.NET and look for pdn repair tool and use it to repair Paint.NET. Open Paint.NET and go to save as. As soon as the Save As dialog box pops up hit the Print Screen key on your keyboard. Now if it crashs go to Paint (Not Paint.NET) and hit Ctrl+V to paste the screenshot. Up load it so we can see were it is pointing to and how it displays icons so we can rule out DivX. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehvince Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Scanned with BitDefender, found nothing Default save folder is "My Pictures" the only thing you can see in the save dialog is a bunch of folders, there didn't display any files in the box because default save is .png second image is changing file type to .jpeg crashed both for saving .png and .jpeg and for trying to save on desktop.

Silentredemption Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 This probably isn't helpful, but my paint.net has been crashing all day on me. Just so you know your not the only one. It didn't do it just when i save though, it'd do it in the middle of making something as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITMAN-X- Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 There are many reason Save As may stop working. The common one I see is video files in the samw folder that your trying to save to. The other one I have seen and have had myself was other programs stopping Save As for Paint.NET. I had a version of AIM that did it and when I uninstalled it, Save As worked again. I now got another copy of AIM and don't got the problem. I will post a few topics of Save As problem going from problems the user made and problems from other programs.
