Software Update: Paint.NET 3.5.9 build 4291

The final release of Paint.NET version 3.5.9 was released on Saturday. As the name suggests, this photo editing program needs the .Net framework to do its job. Updating is preferably done from within the program itself, but downloading is also a option† Version 3.5.9 is a bug fix release and contains a handful of minor changes and improvements.

improved:

• The “Auto-detect” bit-depth setting for PNG, BMP, and TGA now also determines which bit-depth to use based on which one produces the smallest file size, as well as which ones can save the image without losing fidelity.
• You can now use Ctrl+0 as a shortcut key for View -> Actual Size, in addition to Ctrl+Shift+A and Ctrl+Alt+0.

Fixed:

• Some text in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) Save Configuration UI was not being loaded.
• Some DirectDraw Surface (DDS) files authored with other software (eg Unreal 2004) could not be loaded.
• In some rare circumstances, clicking on the Save button in the toolbar would crash.
• The Korean translation has been added back in, with the help of Bing machine translation to cover the few remaining strings that were untranslated.
