Rick Brewster Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 This is a small update that fixes a few important bugs. Get the Update There are two releases of Paint.NET: Microsoft Store release (recommended) You can purchase it here. This helps fund development and is an alternative or supplement to sending in a donation. If you already have it installed, the update should happen automatically once Microsoft certifies the update, usually within the next day or so. To get the update immediately (once it's certified), you can follow the instructions listed here. Classic Desktop release Download the installer from the website. This is the recommended download if you don't have Paint.NET installed. It can also be used to update the app. If you already have it installed, you should be offered the update automatically within the next few days, but you can also get it immediately by going to ⚙ Settings -> Updates -> Check Now. Offline Installers and Portable ZIPs are available over on GitHub. Change Log Changes since v5.0.8: Fixed: When using Alt+Tab, the internal state of the Alt key could get 'stuck' when the Shapes or Line/Curve tool was active, causing the next shape or line/curve to be drawn from the center Fixed: Sliders were not responding to the mouse wheel (regression in 5.0.8) Fixed the DeviceEffect.Properties.Min/MaxInputCount properties, which were throwing an ArgumentException (for plugin authors) Fixed a rare crash at app exit due to a race condition in the auto-updater Fixed a rare crash when the system resumes from sleep mode, due to a race condition in DWM reporting whether composition is enabled Fixed a rare crash when using copy+paste due to .NET Runtime issue #84994 https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/84994 Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to v1.12.2.0, which fixes the inability to save on ARM64 systems (thanks @null54!)

roberth Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Thanks for reverting Ctrl key behavior to what it used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMP Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 O Mighty Brewster, Thanks muchly for the upgrade. Love it! Can you do this little old lady a favor? I'm building a printables store and pretty much live in Paint.Net. However, your cursor is a teeny tiny micron lost in a sea of dots in layers. I can't find it even on the workspace, so I move the color wheel around to where I need to be so I can see my cursor. Is there a way for you to make it more visible, or give us the option to enlarge it? Below is an example of the artwork I assemble and alter to use on planners or sharpen to use as a stand-alone: 1 Time is in the mind of the beholder A mayfly has 24 hours to learn its way around, fall in love, make babies, and write a will.

Rick Brewster Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 @BMP, in the next update I'm going to have cursor scaling. You'll be able to configure it in Windows Settings. This will let you make the cursor bigger. In fact, you may already be using it, Paint.NET just isn't honoring the setting. 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...
BMP Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, Rick. You wrote, "Paint.NET just isn't honoring the setting." Um, I upgraded to 5...9, and I realize that cursor scaling wasn't part of the deal, but where exactly do I find the setting your app isn't honoring? Or should I just go bake some brownies for now and wait for the next upgrade?

Rick Brewster Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Paint.NET isn't honoring the Windows Setting that is highlighted in the screenshot that I posted. It lets you make the cursor bigger. This is something originally requested by @midora at https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/121430-paintnet-50-beta-build-8376/?do=findComment&comment=603337 . I've been getting a bunch of requests for it lately, for whatever reason, so I'm prioritizing it.

BMP Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Oh my goodness. You are a blessing, Rick, trying so hard to get that danged image to show. I dismissed it after clicking on the icon 'cause when it opened I thought it was just an ad for something Google. Thanks for posting the pic. Yeah, I see what you are saying. My cursor is set to a bit larger than the default and it's pink, of course. BUT getting it to remain my personal default is a job for Sisyphus. Your thinking seems to be point on - create a scaler for Paint.NET.
