IRON67 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Since I just had to experience it again: At least here in Germany there is the erroneous prejudice that Paint.net only exists as a paid version. Hence, many people refrain from using it. Even if I understand that a little money helps the developer, it might be helpful for the image of the product to point out more clearly that there is also a free version with the same scope of functions.

Tactilis Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 How would you point out more clearly than this that Paint.NET is free and that purchase via the store is optional? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) I know that already. That isn't enough. In my opinion there should be an Note in the Microsoft Store offer (I don't use the MS store so I don't know how it looks there). Meanwhile many people don't use normal websites like "getpaint.net" and only crawling the MS store. And BTW: The webdesign of getpaint.net is oldfashioned, cluttered and confusing. I have no problem with that, but the new generation does. Edited December 4, 2021 by IRON67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Note in the Microsoft Store : Quote If you buy Paint.NET in the Windows Store, you'll be supporting its development directly (normally we ask for a donation). 25 minutes ago, IRON67 said: Meanwhile many people don't use normal websites like "getpaint.net" and only crawling the MS store.

IRON67 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Well, if there IS a Note in the store BEFORE you buy it, then it is fine. And YES, I know a lot of people who consider PDN to be a product only for sale and therefore do not use it. Addendum: I don't want to annoy anyone here. I am a big fan of PDN and I hope that it will be more successful and better known. And I think it also fails because of such little things. So keep your emojis to yourself. I don't need it.

IRON67 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Very funny, indeed. I already understood, that there IS a note und I have reacted therefore with repeating it und said THEN IT IS FINE. Okay? There's no need for ironic footnotes.
