Paint.NET 5.1.1 Beta (build 9087)

[Rick Brewster]

This is a small update that contains fixes for some bugs that were discovered in 5.1, as well as a new Fill option in the Image->Canvas Size dialog. It also adds back the Settings checkbox that allows for disabling overscroll.

 

Here's what the updated Canvas Size dialog looks like:

 

  

 

Change Log

Changes since 5.1:

• Added the ability to choose the fill color when expanding the image with Image->Canvas Size
• Fixed the ability to paste images with transparency from Firefox
• Fixed the ability to paste certain types of images with transparency from Microsoft Office applications
• Fixed a crash in the Levels adjustment UI due to a rounding error
• Fixed some graphical corruption, hang, or crash issues caused by Nahimic A-Volute malware
• Reverted the removal of the Settings checkbox that lets you disable overscroll
• Fixed effects calling Dispose() on the IServiceProvider when they shouldn't have been. This affected plugins like CodeLab and Plugin Browser.
• Updated the bundled AVIF FileType to version 3.11.0.0 (thanks @null54!)

 

Download and Install

This build is available via the built-in updater as long as you have opted-in to pre-release updates. From within Settings -> Updates, enable "Also check for pre-release (beta) versions of paint.net" and then click on the Check Now button. You can also use the links below to download an offline installer or portable ZIP.
 

 

You can also download the installer here (for any supported CPU and OS), which is also where you can find downloads for offline installers, portable ZIPs, and deployable MSIs.

A great feature work, biggest thanks and congrats.

Progress in process!

Paint.net 5.1 and this latest beta lock up on my machine (Win 11 22631.4460).  To the point where I have to kill it with process explorer, I can't even close the app with the X.  The 5.0 release works, but the 5.1 based releases do not work yet. 

[Rick Brewster]

@ParanoidPanda can you post your diagnostics info from 5.0.13? Settings (gear at top right of main window) -> Diagnostics -> Copy to Clipboard

 

This beta also has a few command-line arguments we can try to hopefully investigate the type of issue you're seeing.

Hello. I just received this update today when I opened PaintNet but I have both options unchecked about the updates ("automatically check" and "also check for betas").

A weird behavior I forgot to report. This is not new to PDN 5.1.

Results of Rotate / Zoom tool affected by the canvas zoom level.

 

1. Open an image bigger than the screen size.

2. Ctrl+0 and Rotate / Zoom. ( I used 5 degree, quality 8 )

3. Copy the image then undo.

4. Ctrl+B and Rotate / Zoom.

5. Ctrl+Shift+V and compare them in Difference blend mode.

 

Differences are +-1 range so not like they are visibly wrong.

Seems like off screen GPU tiles are affected but I'm not 100% sure.

 

edit:

I'm not even sure this is a bug. I know NVIDIA and Intel results are different.

But I always hit Ctrl+B before Rotate / Zoom because of this.

I don’t know how that’s even possible unless your PC is managed by your work or school or network admin.

 

“Received”? As in you were offered the update and installed it, or it just happened silently?

[Rick Brewster]

@_koh_  Which GPU are using for that?

 

Try testing twice at the same zoom level. It may not be related to the zoom level. And try with different GPUs in Settings->Graphics

 

I know Median Blur has minuscule run-to-run discrepancies on AMD and Intel, but not NVIDIA. Not sure if it’s the driver, hardware, or a very subtle bug in my compute shader.

The update popup came in when I opened an image using paintnet. I declined.

This PC is home PC, I'm the only admin here. It started to happen because at some point I checked those two options, to receive the updates. At some point I decided I don't need it, because the updates were too often. I decided to uncheck both options and check for updates manually in the future. Since that time there was at least two instances where the update popup came up. After this last instance of this happening, I decided to make a post here.

Current version is Beta 5.100.9072.2203.

 

Right now I manually pressed "check now" and now installing the update (build 9087 as it says). Both options are still unchecked. I'm hoping the prompt won't come up after the next beta update, I will write back if that happens again.

@Aynekko if you have an alpha/beta installed, those two checkboxes are implicitly checked. You can’t opt-out of updates in this case.

 

Once you have a stable (not alpha/beta), they will be honored. 

 

Prerelease builds have an expiration date, and need to be updated frequently due to all the fixes that are rapidly made.

I'm using RTX 3060 and 12th gen Intel iGPU, and I can reproduce this on both.

 

Did a bit of tests.

- If I hit Ctrl+B, results always match.

- When the zoom level are different, results don't match.

- When the zoom level are the same and center of the zoom are the same, results do match.

- When the zoom level are the same and center of the zoom are different, results don't match.

- NVIDIA and Intel results don't match but that's not just for Rotate / Zoom and I don't expect them to match.

 

But they are +-1 difference anyway so not a big deal.

 

edit:

When the image is zoomed out, regardless the center of the zoom, results always match.

So seems like this is the technically correct result.

Here's what I see with version 5.1, and 5.1.1 beta. I'm running Windows 11.

Perhaps it would be better to check them in this case and make them greyed out for user, to avoid confusion, and add a small prompt about it underneath. 

(for beta versions).

But thanks for the info!

That's a good idea as there have been several recent questions from people who have been confused by the fact they are receiving updates when the options are unchecked.

@ParanoidPanda, are you using SentinelOne?

Native modules                                   0

100% dead give away that it's Sentinel One. They bug out the Win32 APIs for enumerating modules loaded into the current process.
