IrfanView for opening speed and 'color corrections' gamma adjust Gimp for the resynth, gimp animation plugins.) Things like this are why I use multiple graphics programs. I was hoping my post would prompt the developer to investigate his code (or respond here. call Paint.NET to open fully, then feed it the right-clicked file, defaulting to my blank JPEG.jpg if I use the shortcut. I wonder if there's a way to make a macro. and we can't open Paint.NET with an image without the main window jumping all around. that of devotion to the PNG format, with no 'preferences' available to set JPG as default format. Second, I modified my Paint.NET shortcut, to include loading a blank 'JPEG.jpg', so that I could work around another limitation of Paint.NET. I would think that's a basic and popular method of opening graphics, that should be addressed. Yes, opening just the Paintdotnet.exe command remembers the main window location.įirst, often I've been using the right-click "Open with" to open an image with Paint.NET. Is there some analysis you can do of Paint.NET's fetch of registry Top, Left coordinates to see why it might not use them on some systems (like mine)? On closure, doing a refresh of regedit display shows the coordinate Left as a large negative, and the coordinate Top as a large positive value, as expected. such as having the left/top corner of the main window way offscreen to the left, and down within about a quarter inch of screen bottom (by holding the window by the title bar to move it). For a test, I have moved the window to an extreme location. (And the Paint.NET main window resides entirely onscreen.) which usually change each time, since it opens differently each time. I've simply opened it and closed it several times to watch how Paint.NET records the closing coordinates. Paint.NET just reopens in different locations. so that makes the frequent Top coordinate of 120 + window Height equal to screen res height.) (I currently have a main window size of 1086 by 648. Other times, they may be recorded as (Left, Top) 130, 120 or 182, 120. at times, Left and Top can both equal 26 or 52 or 78.hmmm, multiples of 26. because closing coordinates pairs will oftentimes be the same number. It also seems to like some congruity at re-open. but it will -not- open again to those coordinates. It seems to properly record the coordinates at the time of Paint.NET's closure. ![]() I can refresh the registry (regedit) and see the "Left" and "Top" coordinates change, with each closure of Paint.NET. I use an external HDTV for a monitor, but it apparently does n't make a difference if I switch to my notebook's panel only.) (My current Toshiba notebook has the Intel HD Graphics 3000 display adapter, not an ATI/Hydravision or whatever. This is simply tiresome to keep moving the main window after it opens, because it's usually showing up -under- the Colors and Tools windows which I have placed off to the right side of the main window (when it's where I want to place/size it). NO other programs that I run have a problem retaining their window locations. What does Paint.NET do differently when to read/generate the Top, Left coordinates for opening the main window from the registry, that's different from reading the coordinates for Colors and Tools windows? however, if maximized, it will remember that it is maximized. Often the re-opened window seems to rest along the bottom of my screen and not necessarily in the middle. before you say it's not supported, this problem existed on Windows 7 and on different machines if I remember correctly. For some reason, the size of the main window is most often kept. Even if I don't move the main window, the re-opening location will not use the Left, Top coords from shutdown. but the Colors and Tools windows do maintain locations after closing the program.Įditing the registry doesn't appear to help, deleting the Paint.Net branch doesn't help. (I've done PC/network/CADD support for a living, so I have some experience with PC's.)Īs long as I can remember using Paint.NET, the main window has not kept a persistent location for me. New post, since nobody moved old one for me > } ) (Similar to post about 'Window locations not persistent'.
