paint.net 4.2.12 is now available

2020-05-29

This is a hotfix for a few important issues that have come to light with the 4.2.11 release.

If you’re using the Windows Store release, you should get the update automatically within the next 24 hours. You can also force an update check by following these instructions.

For the Classic release, you should be offered the update automatically within the next week or so. You can get the update sooner by going to ⚙ Settings → Updates → Check Now. You can also download and install it directly from the website.

Changes since 4.2.11:

Fixed an error that was preventing some old PDN images from loading (reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/116501-error-opening-older-pdn-files/)
Fixed a crash in the new selection outline renderer (due to misaligned Push/PopAxisAlignedClip calls)
Changed saving to use the ReplaceFile Win32 API, which improves its compatibility
Fixed an EndOfStreamException error that prevented some JPEGs from opening (thanks @null54 for the fix!)

Enjoy!

Your latest updates no longer will install on my Win 7 64 system. The last system that installed and WORKS is: 4.2.6

  This is how to fix it: https://blog.getpaint.net/2020/02/14/paint-net-4-2-10-is-now-available/#comment-21098
  
  A very small number of Win7 systems got stuck because System.IO.Compression.dll didn’t update correctly. Which is used to unzip the update. Just run the repair process like it says in the link. Or, just download and reinstall it from the website.

I can’t install it.
When trying to download the upgrade (from 4.2.8) I get:
‘There was an error while checking for updates.’
‘There was an error decompressing the download.’
I haven’t been able to upgrade for a while, I have often seen this message.

I received the exception below when trying to open a HEIC file.
The file opens perfectly in Windows Photo Viewer and can also be converted to JPG using CopyTrans HEIC for Windows (and the jpg can be successfully opened).

A different HEIC can be opened successfully.

I just tried saving a few files as HEIC and they all got the following exception when trying to generate the preview.

Hey, Rick!

I possibly found a bug (either in Paint.NET or at least in my brain 🤣) while playing around with the Colors tool window:
1. Enter “BAE0FF” into the hex textbox.
2. Notice H’s value within the HSV section, it’s 206.
3. Increase H’s value by 1 (via control’s spinner or cursor-up-key, doesn’t matter)
4. Notice H’s value increases while Hex’s value does not.
5. Decrease H’s value by 1 (again, spinner or cursor key, doesn’t matter)
6. Notice both, H’s and Hex’s value, change, resulting in Hex’s value now being “BAE1FF”.

Why’s that?

Kind regards & stay healthy,
Martin

I got the same stack using another piece of software and tracked it down to CopyTrans HEIC For Windows
