Paint.NET v3.10 Beta 2 is now available

[Ares]

Yay, newest Paint.NET!

[The_Lionhearted]

I, for one, am super psyched about the changes in how layers are created/merged. Thanks Rick!

[Helio]

Make that two!

[Rick Brewster]

That is what it is supposed to be like, so yes, nothing wrong. Rick, are there any plans for extending the drop down or are you remaining with the current maximum of 100? Maybe in increments of 50 or 100's?

I just added 125 through 500 in increments of 25. I also fleshed out the font size drop down up through 288.

[davidtayhs]

Are the new features to the brush size and font size available for downloading now? Just downloaded the beta version but didn't see any difference.

[Crazy Man Dan]

Not 'til the next Beta / RC.

You can still access the 500 sizes, you'll just have to specify them manually for the time being.

[davidtayhs]

Thanks for the info.

But it's fantastic to be able to key in the figure for the fonts and see such huge characters on the screen! Will truly be useful for posters and design work.

[Rick Brewster]

The max size for fonts hasn't changed in quite some time. I think I bumped it up to 2000 about a year ago at someone's request. I just left the font dropdown the same.

[davidtayhs]

When I read your earlier posting, I was already impressed with 288, but 2000!!!!

Very cool, thanks very much.

It it standard sizes / ratios for fonts or it's just multiplication stuff?

[Rick Brewster]

It it standard sizes / ratios for fonts or it's just multiplication stuff?

Straight from the code itself,

private int[] defaultFontSizes =
   new int[] 
   { 
       8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 
       22, 24, 26, 28, 36, 48, 72, 84, 96, 
       108, 144, 192, 216, 288
   };

[Paint_boy]

288 is a default font size?

[Crazy Man Dan]

That's the default list with which the drop down is populated. In the Choose Defaults dialog under the Tool menu, you get to set the default font and font size.

[The_Lionhearted]

Aha! A secret look into the new Paint.NET code...a glimpse into the future...if you will. List...

[drakaan]

288 is a default font size?

I thought the same thing. I routinely *type* 288 in as a font size, but my dropdown list stops at 72 (even on 3.10 beta2)

[Myrddin]

Drakaan, the new drop down won't be implemented until the next Beta/final release.

So....in September, when it expires, am I just supposed to go back to the official version- or does the actual one come out?

Oh- and I love Ink Sketch!

[Paint_boy]

007 Nab you avatar is funny http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5757/faceframesd1.gif

Although I hate Runescpe after being hacked multiple times and being scammed and noobies advertising websites. But still it's funny

I am sure Rick will do all he can to make a new version available before the beta expires.

[007 Nab]

hehe- yeah Paint Boy- I don't play Runescape any more either- but I still like my little dude

I would make my own on Shape3D, but I'm not freakishly skilled like that :shock:

@Leif- oh yeah- alright. I don't wanna lose my ink sketch :o

[david.atwell]

He's never missed the deadline he set up before. I'd be surprised if he did this time. In fact, he usually beats the deadline by a couple of days or even weeks. There'll be another Beta or a full version available by the time this one expires.

[BoltBait]

I love Ink Sketch!

Cool. Thanks!

[007 Nab]

Oh yeah BoltBait- and your Portrait plugin is awesome too! It's basically a filter- really good job with your plugins man 8)

[007 Nab]

Ooh, I found a little glitch with mine. It happens with the color window sometimes (if I move it around too much)

It just kind of dissapears and then I have to go back to Window>Colors

Dunno if it's a bug, or just my comp.

It doesn't happen often
