Hi there. Suddenly, after downloading Curtis' Equation plug-in for the third time (don't know if it is a co-incidence) my PDN is not working properly. It's not saving anything in PNG and, every time I try to open a png it takes me back into Paint.NET - as though it was PDN  I seem to recal, when I had XP, that there was a way to test Paint by clicking on a link in the Programme files area, but I cannot find this option in Windows 7. Any advice will be much appreciated  |

Are you thinking about?
Computer > OS > Programs > Paint.NET > PdnRepair.exe
I have never used it, so i don't know how it works. But the file name looks like it.

Hi Leif - Thanks for that ..... I've tried that twice and it has not taken care of the problem. Jeeez ............. I hope I don't have to un-install and re-install the whole programme EDIT: I just sorted it out (I think). It was my computer that had taken over viewing in Quicktime mode. Once I made my default viewing Picasa, then all the png's came back to normal and Paint did not open them anymore. Phew ;D Sorry for my mad panic  |

That`s why I got rid of any Appleware ages ago, including iTunes. Never been a fan of that company. I did go into the new Apple shop recently and had a play on some of the computers on display but I would never buy one. Not at their prices.

Always make sure to associate certain image files (.JPG, .PNG, etc) with Paint.NET so it will open those files by default. |

It is great for browsing many pictures. But i have Irfan set up to make it possible to export pictures to PDN by Shift+e. |

But be careful which ones you associate. I remember once I thought I would be clever and try this but I ended up associating all types of files, including zips. Of course PDN can`t open those and I had a real headache working out how to sort it. In the end it needed a fix in the registry. So if you do decide to associate files , make sure you check which ones - unlike me! |
