paint.net 5.0.12

Changes since v5.0.11:

• Fixed a silent crash that was preventing the app from opening when double-clicking an image in Explorer, due to a bug in .NET's ProfileOptimization class
• Fixed some canvas navigation keyboard shortcuts that have some overlap with the new tab movement shortcut keys (Ctrl+Shift+PageUp/PageDown)

• Updated the bundled WebPFileType plugin to v1.3.21.0, which now supports loading the first frame of an animated WebP image instead of saying the file is not supported (thanks @null54!)

Changes since v5.0.10:

• Fixed: If an image file (such as .png or .jpg) is actually a WebP image, the WebPFileType will be used for loading instead of WIC's WebP codec (which doesn't work correctly)
• Fixed a crash when undoing brush strokes
• Fixed a rare crash in the updater UI when exiting the app
• Fixed a crash that was preventing CodeLab's UI Preview functionality from working

• New: Added convenience constructors to many Direct2D effects so that they can be used without declaring a new local variable
• New: Added GaussianBlurMapEffect and BokehBlurMapEffect for use by GpuEffect plugins. They enable the blur radius to be controlled per-pixel through the use of a second input image (the "map")
• New: Added a RandomNoiseEffect that GpuEffect plugins can make use of
• Fixed various bugs with HlslBinaryFunctionEffect, HlslBinaryOperatorEffect, and HlslTernaryFunctionEffect (which can be used by GpuEffect plugins)

• Fixed: Sliders were not responding to the mouse wheel (regression in 5.0.8)
• Fixed the DeviceEffect.Properties.Min/MaxInputCount properties, which were throwing an ArgumentException (for plugin authors)

• Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to v1.12.2.0, which fixes the inability to save on ARM64 systems (thanks @null54!)

Changes since v5.0.7:

• Improved: The primary/secondary dropdown in the Colors window has been removed. The active color is now indicated in the color box itself.
• Improved: The Colors window will now remember whether it’s in the expanded state (More vs. Less).
• Fixed: In the Colors window, left clicking in the color wheel or the color palette will always set the active color, and right clicking will always set the inactive color. This was not always consistent before.
• Changed: The key for centered shape drawing and uniform resizing has been changed from Ctrl to Alt so that it does not collide with zooming with the mouse (Ctrl + Mouse Wheel)
• Fixed: The keyboard shortcut for previous/next tab is now Ctrl + Page Up/Down, to match other applications
• New: You can now use Ctrl + Shift + Page Up/Down to move the current tab left or right
• Fixed: The printing UI is now run out-of-process, which should fix a slew of reliability problems (hangs, crashes)
• Fixed: The “Add Color” button in the Colors window was often showing the wrong color
• Fixed: Effects -> Noise -> Median was incorrectly causing transparent pixels (#00000000) to turn into slightly transparent, almost black (#01010101)
• New: Primitive structs (e.g. RectInt32, Vector4Float) now implement IParsable<T> (for plugin developers)
• Fixed: UnaryPixelOps.Invert now works correctly, which was broken in the 5.0 release (for plugin developers)
• Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to version 1.12.1.0, which, which improves support for swizzled BC3/DXT5 normal maps (e.g. DOOM 3), and support for loading textures with an incorrect DDS_PIXELFORMAT size (e.g. FlatOut 2) (thanks @null54!)
• Updated the bundled WebPFileType plugin to version 1.3.18.0 (thanks @null54!)

• Changed the icon for Contiguous mode (Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tools) to have better contrast with the icon for Global mode
• Fixed: Shortcut keys are now listed for the tooltips in the Layers and History windows and for the selection combine modes in the toolbar. The help text for the Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tools also notes that holding Shift will use Global mode.
