paint.net 4.2.1 beta build 7151

[Rick Brewster]

This release will be fixing a handful of bugs and adds JPEG XR file type support.

 

For now there's only a direct download link. I'll be adding this to the built-in updater in a few hours after I run some errands.

 

Download: https://www.getpaint.net/files/zip/test/paint.net.4.201.7151.31272.install.zip

 

Changes:

• New: JPEG XR file type support
• Fixed: Holding Ctrl when dragging a selection with Move Selected Pixels will again leave a copy behind (but only with the mouse)
• Fixed crashes when saving DDS images
• Fixed VTF plugin compatibility; it was not working in 4.2 except for images that were an exact power-of-2 size on each dimension
• Fixed: .BMP files can be opened even if they're not actually BMP images (they still need to be a valid WIC-supported file type such as PNG, JPEG, etc.)
• Fixed (stabilized) menu ordering of effect plugins that have duplicate names
• Fixed metadata handling that was preventing some images with EXIF tag 330 from being able to load
• Fixed metadata preservation for old images that pad EXIF string values with null terminators
• Fixed title bar text color when using certain custom accent colors in Windows 10
• Fixed very bad performance when opening large images with embedded rotation metadata

JPEG XR isn't working on my Windows 7 box.

Okay thanks, I'll look into it. Maybe WIC's JPEG XR codec requires Windows 8/8.1 or even 10? The documentation is, as usual, completely useless...

[Rick Brewster]

Okay it looks like JPEG XR requires Windows 8. I'll adjust the code for that.

[BoltBait]

@toe_head2001, does the old, blocked JPEG XR plugin work on Windows 7?

[Rick Brewster]

I'm going to adjust the block so that the old plugin isn't blocked on Win7.

Yes, but technically that plugin uses the HD Photo format.

There are differences (so I've read) between Microsoft's HD Photo and the standardized JPEG XR.

[BoltBait]

I was just thinking that @Rick Brewster may NOT want to block that plugin for Windows 7 then.

I have downloaded this Beta and, as was in 4.2 I can't get the Ctrl + D to de-select anymore ☹️

I'm not having any trouble with Ctrl+D to deselect even when using the Text Tool.  Can you give more details?

[Rick Brewster]

I'm putting up a new build in just a minute ...
