Paint.NET v3.5.7

http://www.dotpdn.com/files/Paint.NET.3.5.7.Install.zip

As usual, you can either use the built-in updater from the Utilities menu, or you can download and install directly from the website: http://www.getpaint.net/. There’s no need to worry about removing the old version; that is all handled automatically.

This update improves reliability of saving, further improves Copy/Paste functionality, and fixes some other miscellaneous bugs.

Here’s the list of changes since v3.5.6:

Saving an image is now fault-tolerant. If there is an error or crash while saving, the original file will be left alone.

Worked around a bug in some plugins that are incorrectly using the built-in Gaussian Blur effect. For example, Sharpen+. Now they won’t crash.

Fixed a bug with Edit->Paste into New Image, where the new image would be 1 pixel too wide or tall, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20969-paste-problem/

Fixed a bug with the Rectangle Select tool and Fixed Ratio selection, which would be off by 1 pixel, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20820-croppig-by-fixed-ratio-is-inexact

When pasting an image from Paint.NET into Paint.NET, it will be a little smarter about where it puts the image. Previously, if the location wasn’t within the viewport, it would be placed at the top-left corner of the viewport. Now it will find the nearest point along the edge of the viewport to place the image.

The EXIF rotation ("orientation") metadata is now discarded when opening an image, which was causing aggravation with images that could then never be reoriented correctly using Image->Rotate

The EXIF tags for JPEG thumbnail data are now correctly discarded.

Fixed a handful of memory leaks.

Fixed a typo in the Italian translation. In the setup wizard it was referring to "Pain.NET" (woops)

Enjoy!
