Gisteren is er een nieuwe bètarelease uitgekomen van Paint.NET, namelijk versie 3.07 beta. Dit fotobewerkingsprogramma dankt zijn naam aan het feit dat het in C# ontwikkeld wordt, wat betekent dat het .NET Framework nodig is om het programma te kunnen draaien. De download is slechts anderhalve megabyte groot en voor het gemak hebben we een mirror gemaakt op onze eigen Tweakers.net-server. Updaten binnen het programma zelf kan natuurlijk ook. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
New:Improved:
- Line/Curve tool has been enhanced to allow drawing arrowheads, and to draw with various dashed- and dotted- styles.
- Image tab thumbnails now have an indicator if the respective image has unsaved changes (an orange asterisk is shown).
Changed:
- The Save Configuration dialog (choose JPEG quality, etc.) now allows you to maximize it. It also remembers its relative location and size.
Fixed:
- The help file / documentation is now hosted online. This has reduced the download size by more than 3 MB, and will also allow us to provide translations without ballooning the size of the download (each language would have added between 2 and 4MB).
- The "image list button" (downward triangle) is also shown when only 1 image is open (it used to only display if 2 or more images were open). This is being done for the sake of consistency.
[break]
- Some operations would reset the selected layer to the first/lowest layer. This selection is now preserved.
- Several problems have been fixed within our implementation surrounding the new Vista Open/Save dialogs. This includes: opening an image from an http:// source, opening images from a digital camera that is not mapped to a file system path (such as a drive letter), the Save dialog not always prompting you about overwriting an existing file, and many corner cases that previously caused crashes.
