Paint.NET 5.0.13

This update improves reliability of saving, further improves Copy/Paste functionality, and fixes some other miscellaneous bugs.
* 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
* Fixed a bug with the Rectangle Select tool and Fixed Ratio selection, which would be off by 1 pixel, as reported at
* 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 metadata 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)

• Fixed: Ctrl+Shift+A now works again as a shortcut for View -> Actual Size (broken in 3.5.9)
• Fixed: Ctrl+0 still works for View -> Actual Size even if 10 or more images are open (broken in 3.5.9, it would switch to the 10th image).

Fixed: The Gaussian Blur effect was incorrectly calculating alpha values for non-opaque pixels.
Improved performance of the Sharpen effect by about 25%
Improved performance of the Median effect by about 30%
Improved performance of the Fragment effect by about 40%
Improved performance of the Unfocus effect by about 100%
Reduced memory usage when many selection manipulation operations are in the history/undo stack (the undo data is now saved to disk)
The built-in updater now supports upgrading to paint.net 4.0 (when it's available)

This update is focused on fixing some important crashes, bricks, and functionality issues, and also on a few key performance optimizations.

Move Selected Pixels tool performance has been significantly optimized.
Move Selected Pixels tool was always leaving transparent black behind instead of the secondary color with alpha removed.
Brush tools with odd-sized brushes and no antialiasing were drawing at 1 size smaller.
Fixed some apparent ‘lag’ in the brush tools due to an off-by-1 glitch in the stroke path calculation code.
The brush tool preview circle no longer scales by the system DPI setting, which made it too big.
Removed the momentary hourglass/wait cursor after drawing (e.g. pencil and brush tools).
Optimized performance of the Shapes tool, especially for the Ellipse shape.
Paint Bucket tool will now correctly treat the selection as a boundary contour.
Zoom tool no longer crashes sometimes when pressing the right mouse button while already holding the left mouse button.
The status bar now reports the correct selection location when it’s outside the image boundaries (e.g. negative values).
Auto-scrolling on the edge of the window now works correctly and doesn’t require you to "jiggle the mouse" for each scroll update.
Touch screens no longer scroll when swiping up/down with one finger.
Improved the pixel grid’s contrast so it’s not overwhelmingly bright.
The transparency "checkerboard" is now aligned to the top-left of the image, instead of the top-left of the canvas.
The cursor position reported in the status bar was off-by-1 when the value was supposed to be negative.
Some controls (e.g. units selection in the Image->Resize dialog) were not drawing focus rectangles when using the keyboard.
Fixed a crash (OutOfMemoryException) when using a selection tool when hardware acceleration is disabled.
Fixed a crash (TimeBeforeLastUpdateException) in the installer. This usually happens when running in a virtual machine, and only affects animations.
Fixed a crash (BadImageFormatException) at startup. This indicates an installation error, and will be automatically repaired.
Fixed various crashes caused by having the wrong (old) version of PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.Native.dll. This indicates an installation error, and will be automatically repaired.
Improved performance when software rendering is used (e.g. when hardware accelerated rendering is disabled).
All 7th generation Intel GPUs now default to hardware rendering. All older Intel GPUs default to software rendering.
Fixed graphical artifacts (blackness, flickering, mouse trails) on certain GPUs (e.g. NVIDIA Optimus).
NVIDIA ION graphics cards now default to software rendering due to crashes.
Fixed an issue that was causing beta updates to be offered even if “Also check for pre-release (beta) versions of paint.net” was disabled in Settings

* Fixed the gamma and contrast for text rendering on some systems where the wrong values were being used ("rainbow" text)
* Colors window now correctly lets you paste a hex color value that starts with a hash, e.g. #112233
* Gradient tool now lets you reverse a transparency gradient by clicking the right mouse button on one of the handles (regression from 3.5)
* Move Selected Pixels now lets you hold Control to leave a copy of the selected area behind on the initial move (regression from 3.5)
* Paint Bucket tool’s hatch fill modes weren’t working with the Overwrite blending mode (regression from 3.5)
* Fixed a keyboard tabbing issue in the Resize dialog (regression from 3.5)
* Fixed the language setting in the Settings dialog not always allowing you to set it to English if your system’s default language is non-English
* Fixed a performance issue that caused images with many layers (50+) to take a VERY long time to open, close, or even switch away from (regression from 3.5)
* Fixed a rare crash at application exit
* Fixed an issue that prevented 4.0.1 from installing on top of 4.0 when using the MSI (e.g. AD/GPO network deployment)
* Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the installer to take 30+ seconds to appear

This update fixes a few small bugs and improves performance.

Further improved performance when working with images that have a lot of layers.
Fixed some flickering in the Layers form.
Fixed the Language selector in the Settings dialog.
Fixed 2-finger touchpad and touch screen scrolling.
Aero peek thumbnails now include the pixel grid if it's enabled.
Fixed a crash in the thumbnail renderer that sometimes happened when switching between images.
Ctrl+W no longer exits the application if zero images are open.
