Rick Brewster Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 This small update fixes a few important bugs, most notably with installations that directly use the MSI file for deployment (e.g. AD/GPO). 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 4.2.9: Fixed: Installations that directly use the MSI (e.g. AD/GPO deployments) no longer need to run the repair process immediately after installation. Some important DLLs were not being updated because while their assembly version was different, their file version was unchanged, so Windows Installer incorrectly skipped over them. Click here for more information. Fixed: Loading an image with an enormous photoshop:DocumentAncestors node in the XMP metadata will no longer hang the app Fixed a rare crash in the auto-updater UI related to font initialization Improved performance when clicking OK on an effect or adjustment dialog that has already completed part of its rendering Enjoy! 4 2 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...

lynxster4 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Thank you @Rick Brewster! I am doubly grateful as this version has enabled me to use null's Gmic plugin again. Gmic wouldn't work for me on version 4.2.9 (it kept crashing PDN), but it worked on 4.2.8. Weird, huh? Well, anyway, THANK YOU!

Rick Brewster Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yes, that's weird. I wouldn't expect it. There's probably a bug in the GMIC plugin and you should report the crashes to the author!

lynxster4 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 @Rick Brewster...That's the first thing I did. Null said the communication between PDN and Gmic was broken and he didn't know why. I sent him the crash log. But, things are okay now and I'm happy. 1 My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdaniel Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Came to thank once again for 4.2.9. I did my project finally. Final image made from many tiles is about 13000x8000, working canvas was even bit higher before cut. All processing was smooth, low disc requirements. No crash. Love that tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariah Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I hope the crash issue got solved. It was really a pain and wasted a lot of time for that. The new update though came a little late but I guess it was worth the wait. I would still wait for the perfect review of this so that I do not have to reinstall the older version just because it is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it did not happen a lot of time but it did. When it happened I have lost hours of my work. I do not have the error logs with me now, but if I do face another crash I would definitely take a screen shot and upload over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @mariah Sometimes one gets a crash from using an older Plugin which have been created by people who are no longer on the forum. There is nothing we can do about that. As was mentioned about Gmic it had a bug in it and had to be fixed by the author.

I hope the newer version fixed all the bugs that were bothering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please make a post over in Troubleshooting section with a description of what you were doing, how it crashed, and post the crash log if you've got it. Without the crash log, or some way of reproducing the crash, nothing can be done. Just saying "oh it crashed" doesn't help at all, unfortunately.

I usually risk my work too and do my work in one go. But its good habit to save work every some steps in .pdn format. You do not loose back steps, but in crash, you start from last save point.

raphfa Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hey, has the "cut to selection" feature been removed from this version of Paint.NET? I first noticed that the Ctrl+shift+x shortcut was irresponsive, then I noticed that the option was not available at the Edit menu anymore. That feature has been extremely helpful for me and it would be great if it could be restored in the next update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Ctrl + Shift + X is crop to selection. Its grayed out because you probably don't have an active selection. 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...
