Je Hooft Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It's very simple: the moment I hover over the acquire tab (under file) the program just freezes. I don't know why and I don't even know what "acquire" does but it's very annoying cause I hover over the button when I want to save something and then the program freezes and my progress is lost.

Pixey Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hello @Je Hooft and Welcome to the forum If you 'hover' over the Acquire you should see an option to get something from your Scanner or Camera.

Rick Brewster Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 This is probably caused by a bad or misbehaving scanner driver. Or maybe a network attached scanner or something like that. The problem is your scanner Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 @Rick Brewster, can you move the enabling of that menu item off of the UI thread? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 You could try unplugging your camera? Depending on how your camera driver is implemented, it might just be accessing the storage on the camera in a very inefficient manner. Or it could be buggy and not handle certain internal errors properly.
