Rick Brewster Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This small update fixes a few pressing bugs, particularly for touch and pen input. If you’re using the Windows Store release, you should get the update automatically within the next 24 hours. You can also force an update check by following these instructions. For the Classic release, you should be offered the update automatically within the next week or so. You can get the update sooner by going to ⚙ Settings → Updates → Check Now. You can also download and install it directly from the website. Changes since 4.2.7: Fixed: Pinch-to-zoom was not working when using a touch screen (regression in 4.2.6) Fixed: Spacebar panning was not working when using a pen/stylus (regression in 4.2.6) Fixed: EXIF metadata with non-ASCII characters is now preserved correctly Fixed a crash that can happen when the Microsoft Store version of the app is closed for an update Added /repair command-line argument, which will run PdnRepair.exe. This makes it easy to use Start -> Run -> paintdotnet:/repair so you don't have to go fishing for the installation directory.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 They are hardly countless, and each one makes the program better. I love the fact that PDN is being developed so visibly. It leaves you in no doubt that the developer is regularly improving PDN for all of us. ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're tired of clicking on the update prompts, you can buy the app on the Microsoft Store and then updates will be completely transparent -- it happens automatically and in the background. https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NBHCS1LX4R0 This is the way software works nowadays: continuous improvement, continuous release. It results in higher quality software, and reduces "big surprise" updates with lots of new, but not always completely working, functionality. It reduces the amount of time that people have to deal with bugs that do arise. Complaining about the frequency of updates for free software is a pretty silly attitude to have, "Hey there's a bug can you fix it" (so then I fix it immediately) ... "Hey why are you sending out so many updates?!"

HyReZ Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) @Rick BrewsterWhen are you going to add AI to Paint.NET with the ability to read minds and predict what I want to have created and then produce it? Maybe you can make it use my VR headset to scan my thoughts and visions and produce a Paint.NET graphic. I need it this weekend! Thanks! 🙂 Edited December 5, 2019 by HyReZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reptillian Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 There's actually indirect support for AI-related things for Paint.NET. G'MIC 2.8 has rudimentary support for it. G'MIC Filter Developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
