Quick way of inserting one image underneath another?

[ozymandarin]

 

Please see reference image above.

 

Basically, I'm looking for a quick way to paste a series of images of the same width into one long image. 

 

Right now my process is: 

 

1. Copy image 1 

2. "New" 

3. Set height to some arbitrarily large value 

4. Paste image 1 and align it at the top of the new blank image 

5. Paste in images 2, 3, 4 etc. one at a time and manually pixel-align them under one another. 

 

Step 5 in particular is very time-consuming.

 

Is there a faster way of doing this? 

 

Thanks.

Yes, but not with Paint.NET.

 

If you're willing to use a command line, ImageMagick makes this very easy:

In G'MIC, you can use this command in cli:

 

gmic ig \"folder location\" append y o name_of_img.png

It would be great to have this 'paste on side' capability in Paint.NET, which would expand the canvas and paste the image on the chosen side.

I have to do this frequently (pasting screenshots of dialogs next to each other) and is the only reason that I switch to Irfanview, which has this capability, as shown below.
