lion Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I'm new to paint.net but not new to computers (about 30 years of programming experience). The question is probably very silly. Let's say I created a new file using the Effects/Render/Shapes tool. I then saved the file and opened a new one without closing paint.net. When I tried the same tool, I realized that "Shapes" remained with the same settings that I chose for the previous file. It looks like this dll is not reset. To reset it, I need to close and open the entire Paint.net. The question is, is there a way to reset/clear the Paint.NET cache without closing it?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hi @lion - welcome to the forum. As you found, the setting used persist within the session unless changed. If you want a complete reset you'll have to restart PDN.

Tactilis Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) On 5/21/2023 at 6:22 PM, lion said: That is kind of strange. Why? Consider: 1. I do File | New to create a new image 2. I set the Primary colour to Red and the current tool to Paintbush with size of 10 (for example) and paint an area. 3. I do File | New to create a new image After step 3, I would want my carefully chosen colour and Paintbrush (and other tool) settings to persist for the the new image. In fact, I want all my Tools, Adjustments and Effects settings to persist. That is what paint.net does. What is the reason you want everything to reset?
