Bug

[rhann]

Completley unrealistic but tried to open 85 pictures, opened quite a few and crashed when the page file ran out and had to be increased

This text file was created because Paint.NET crashed.

Please e-mail this file to paint.net@hotmail.com so we can diagnose and fix the problem.

another thing is I prefer the color selector on 2.72 (darker/ brighter colors)

also can you put a block on the last tab open being closed, so that there is always a tab open

[Rick Brewster]

I think it's realistic to try and open lots of images. However, it's lame that it crashes instead of giving an error: I've had a bug filed for awhile to go through the app and fix all these crashes. I've added your crash report to the bug so I've got more info to work with.

For the color selector, you can click "More" and get access to all of the sliders.

As for putting a block on the 'x' for the last tab ... well that defeats the point Paint.NET is in an interesting positiong of trying to bring tab-based MDI into an area it hasn't really been used before, that of image editing. So while Firefox and Internet Explorer don't have a 'close' button when you're down to 1 tab, I think it's appropriate that Paint.NET does.

the slider isn't there, it was the one on the right when in the less window, the verticle one.can that be added to the more or less part.

[Rick Brewster]

Yes, it is there. It's the "V" (value) slider.

[BoltBait]

The slider is still there. Its just now called V under the HSV section.

sorry about that, found it now, thanks for your help
