paid AppStore Version can't be opened from another App
Hello everyone
maybe i've searched for the wrong key words but i could not find an existing thread about this "Issue".
i’m (happily) using paint.net for a while now and just recently bought the MSStore version to support this great piece of Software
Unfortunately with the Metro/App Store executable it’s not possible to call PDN from another program anymore
In my case i’ve just linked „PaintDotNet.exe %1“ from my (Faststone) picture browser and could directly open
Okay I just added this for the next update. To use it, you'll use the paintdotnet: protocol prefix.
For example, you can to to Start -> Run, and then type in:
paintdotnet:path_to_file_1.jpg "path_to_file_2 that has spaces.png"
And it'll open both of those files. This works both to launch Paint.NET from scratch, and to open files in an instance of Paint.NET that's already running.
It wasn't too hard, just a mix of a small addition to the AppX
