Changes since 4.3:

• Fixed an issue with using Explorer's "Open With" menu on Windows 7, 8.1, and some editions of Windows 10
• Fixed image thumbnails in Explorer's Details View only having a generic document icon instead of the Paint.NET icon
• Fixed a spurious, harmless error in Settings -> Plugin Errors
• Fixed a race condition that could cause a crash
• Fixed not being able to use Ctrl+C to copy text from the Setup Downloader, which is especially important for troubleshooting

Enjoy!

super good news, i tested and ok.

You could check the download server tls version using SSL Server Test (Powered by Qualys SSL Labs) to see if it supports tls 1.2

 

To replicate my tls issue we have the following deployed on the company workstations to block all old ssl/tls version and only support tls 1.2

 

Below a screenshot of the tls/ssl settings created with iis crypto Nartac Software - IIS Crypto which is used to disable all other protocols.

@mark van tilburg ... so you can't run the installer because you're blocking the network activity from the installer? 🤔 You'll have to explain more about your scenario then. Please create a separate post for this.

@Rick Brewster Thanks for the update!

[toe_head2001]

@Icezaza1, this is an issue with certain locales, such as Thailand. It will be fixed in the next version.

FYI @Rick Brewster.  I wanted to use Gradient Mapping plugin yesterday with a custom preset color that I moved into the Gradient Mapping folder under Effects Presets in the paint.net User files. When I opened the plugin the custom preset did not show up in the drop-down list.  I clicked Manage Presets and it took me to a new folder, where the (3) default presets were also located.  See below:

 

Is this intentional to get Gradient Mapping working?  The plugin works, don't get me wrong, you just have to copy custom presets to this folder now.

 

Maybe it's just my system, I don't know.  I can't tell you when this folder showed up either, as I don't use Gradient Mapping that much. I'm assuming it's after you got it to work in the alpha versions.  I did not upgrade till a lot of bugs got fixed...alpha version 7921.  All subsequent upgrades installed fine.  Thank you!

@lynxster4, I don't know. I just got the plugin to work, I didn't change anything about the folders it used, but it's possible something was affected.

 

@pyrochild will need to provide updated versions of his plugins to get everything working properly. I haven't heard or seen from him in awhile though.

[lynxster4]

That's okay @Rick Brewster.  At least it still works.  Could be just my sys also.  Thanks for replying.

Well done @lynxster4

It was not just your system. Mine shared the same folder structure and moving the presets to 

C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\paint.net User Files\Effect Presets\System.Private.CoreLib

worked for me too.

How the folder was created is a mystery, but we have to point the finger at @Rick Brewster

I say that because of the name of the folder. It's actually an assembly reference.

[midora]

'System.Private.CoreLib' looks like that a method returns now a class name instead of the real name. Maybe ToString().

Glad I could help.  For anyone else who has this extra folder, you must move your custom presets into it.

Paint.NET won't work after i updated to the latest version
it's the newest version and i don't know why it's happening, all i do is uninstall the program and reinstall it
but the worst part is HOW it took me so long to see it loaded
