kevincrans Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 .Net core is the future and UWP is deprecated in favour of WinUI3, it looks beautiful and has a lot features Paint.net uses available. Fun-fact: WinUI3 is open-source and cross-platform. What do you think of this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 That's not a "feature" request. You're asking for the whole app to be rewritten from scratch. Sorry, not going to happen. 1 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...
kevincrans Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Sorry, I don't understand. A re-write of the app to winui 3, or of paint.net itself, was UWP a big re-write then? But I do take your word, because now I think of it, it does seem like a huge overkill. Edited June 26, 2022 by kevincrans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequently, all code would need to be rewritten to support Windows App SDK instead of the Universal Windows Platform SDK. Additionally, the conversion might not be 1:1, per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/migrate-to-windows-app-sdk/what-is-supported. However, WinUI 2.7 supports UWP, and per it still looks damn good and currently almost identical to WinUI3. Regardless, I support this proposal, especially now that Paint uses XAML Islands for WinUI3 support. Edited December 23, 2023 by Beedell, Roke Julian Lock.

Tactilis Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Hi @Beedell, Roke Julian Lock. welcome to the forum. You may not have realised but you have replied to a thread that is 18 months old. This thread is long dead. It should not have been revived. Additionally kevincrans hasn't visited the forum for 18 months, so is unlikely to see your comment. Please could you take a few minutes to read the Forum Rules - there's a link at the top of every page. Read them all but note in particular #11.
