Software update: Paint.NET 4.2.8

Version 4.2.8 of Paint.NET has been released. This drawing and image editing program bridges the gap between the Paint supplied with Windows and expensive but very extensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo Paint. Today, the program is also available via the Windows Store offered, although a small fee is charged for that version. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Added:

• / repair command-line argument, which will run PdnRepair.exe. This makes it easy to use Start -> Run -> paintdotnet: / repair so you don’t have to go fishing for the installation directory.

Fixed:

• Pinch-to-zoom was not working when using a touch screen (regression in 4.2.6)
• Spacebar panning was not working when using a pen / stylus (regression in 4.2.6)
• EXIF metadata with non-ASCII characters is now preserved correctly
• Fixed a crash that can happen when the Microsoft Store version of the app is closed for an update
