PascalD Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Is there a way to open an image in paint.net from a memory stream (or something similar) and when saved, send it back as a memory stream? I want to use paint.net as an external editor for images in a winforms c# application but the images are stored in a database and instead of saving them to disk and pick them up when changed I would like to find a more elegant way to edit them. And of course because paint.net is a very good editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Paint.net is not designed to be used that way. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Also, you can't bundle Paint.NET with your software. If the user already has it installed, great, go ahead and link up to it -- but you cannot bundle. But yeah you'll only be able to save to a temporary file on disk and have Paint.NET open that. There's no IPC or other mechanism for getting an image into Paint.NET.
