LibbyH Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 One of the major things I've noticed is that it is important to have the newest version of paint.net, but for newbies, that's not always obvious. I read the rules and looked in FAQs and didn't see it there. You can "search" for it, but that's unreliable as several might come up and may not actually include the newest one. Is there somewhere that clearly tells us which version is the newest & (that is updated regularly). It would help keep us from making silly mistakes that will probably inadvertantly irritate those who have been around awhile. (Maybe having it in the rules would help?) Thanks for reading. Hope this is in the right place to post this. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The newest version of Paint.NET will always be found at Paint.NET's website or via Help -> Check for Updates (in Paint.NET 3.36) or Utilities -> Check for Updates (in Paint.NET 3.5 Beta).

[тωιѕт] Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 When the current version was released, I was notified via PdN when I first opened it up. It said something like "There is a new version of Paint.net available, would you like to upgrade?" or something along the lines of that. So yeah, and if that doesn't work, go to Utilities => Check for updates (Make sure you go to the options tab and have Automatically check for new versions of Paint.net checked (You can check Also check for pre-release (beta) versions check if you desire)) Edit - [sarcasm] Darn you pyrochild!

LibbyH Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thank you both. I know I'm running an old version, I actually thought it would ask me if I wanted to update when there was a newer version, but I haven't had it ask, that I can remember.

Rick Brewster Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 If you're on 3.36, then it probably won't tell you about anything newer because 3.5 is still in beta so it isn't being automatically offered to most users. If you're not on 3.36, then maybe the updater got disabled. It's easy to re-enable it. [тωιѕт]'s directions are correct, although you may need to go to the Help menu to find Check for Updates. I moved it to "Utilities" for the upcoming (and still in beta) version 3.5.

david.atwell Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I added a link in that rule to the getpaint.net download site. Hopefully that will steer you in the right direction. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.
