Ralph Jonkers Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Edit by Rick: More accurate title. This isn't a crash. Today I installed 3.0 final. I can't open any images from the My Documents folder. When I click the My Documents folder when browsing for an image I get this error. Never happened prior to this final version.

Rick Brewster Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 That isn't a crash though. It isn't even in Paint.NET's code. The filename is bizarreified for some reason. Can you provide a screenshot where the filename you're interested is in the picture? I can't figure out what the file is you're trying to open with all those %255's in the name.

Kaiser Yoshi Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I'm pretty sure %255 is a space. Replace all the spaces in the filename with underscores and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It's actually %255C, which would be decimal code 9564. Which is definitely not a space (which is 32 or %20). Ralph Jonkers, are you able to open this image in any other program that goes through the standard "Open" dialog box? Like, for instance, regular Paint?

Ralph Jonkers Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi, Actually I'm not opening a file / an image yet. (your new title isn't accurate there for) The thing I do is _browse_ for a file. Let me explain the steps. 1. Start Paint 2. Click File - Open. Paint opens a dialogbox where I can browse for a file. (I noticed that the default location that shows is the location where the last image I worked with is. For this error to occur make sure the dialogbox does not open with My Documents - My Pictures but with My Desktop). Paint displays the Open dialogbox like this http://www.jonkers.net/audio/bug2.jpg 3. Now click on My Documents on the left hand navigation (from top to bottom: My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My computer, My network) 4. Error like the one in my first post occurs. Paint does not crash but is simply frozen. I have to end the program by closing it from the task manager. Ps: although this is my first post on this forum I enjoyed using Paint.Net from the early 2.x version. I also used almost every beta / RC prior to installing the final 3.0 version today. Never had any problems with it. Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Maybe ... You customised a folder with a picture and explorer can't find it? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 So this error happens only in Paint.NET, or does it happen in other software as well? Like in Paint, for instance. It really sounds to me like its the cause of some shell extension or customization, as that error isn't even from Paint.NET, it's from Windows.

BoltBait Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Looking at the screen shot, the error message is coming from Windows Internet Explorer? Really? If so, how is this a Paint.NET issue?

Ralph Jonkers Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Ok, did some more testing. The error only occurs when I click My Documents and the folder type is Thumbnails. Not with Names, Tiles, Icons, List, Details. Fortunately this error also appears in other programs now I see. So it's not a Paint.Net related issue. Sorry for the confusion.
