Paint.NET

What's new in this version:

New:
- XMP metadata is now preserved for supported file types (PDN, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, JPEG XR, HEIC, AVIF, WEBP)
- Belarusian (be) translation
- Greek (el) translation
- Slovenian (sl) translation
- Added a right-click context menu to the image thumbnail/tab. It contains commands for Copy Path, Open Containing Folder, Save, Save As, and Close
- The items in the File -> Open Recent menu now have a tooltip with the full file path for the image
- Added /openCrashLogFolder command-line argument. This is intended for simplifying troubleshooting workflows
- Added /forceUpdateCheck command-line argument. This is intended for troubleshooting scenarios to simplify acquiring the latest version, e.g. "just run paintdotnet:/forceUpdateCheck" instead giving a longer list of buttons to click on.

Changed:
- The selection outline animation is now smoother (2x the framerate)
- Removed the use of NTFS Transactions, which was causing trouble with OneDrive. Microsoft has also deprecated this technology

Fixed:
- Saving with the HEIC file type is no longer limited to a max Quality value of 90. This limitation was in place because of a crash due to heap corruption, which no longer happens.
- The NVIDIA sharpening setting will no longer cause trippy distortions in the canvas area
- an issue with loading very small TGA images, first reported
- Error dialogs when opening images now consistently show the file path
- a PropertyNotFoundException error message when saving JPEG images with a particular ordering of metadata. This was due to a bug in Windows 7's WIC JPEG codec
- clipped text rendering in the Curves adjustment dialog in some non-English translations
- a crash when running the app with a DPI scaling setting of 500%
- a crash that would sometimes happen when running effects with very small selections
- some IndirectUI controls not honoring their default values if also initialized in read only (disabled) mode
- Fixed a memory leak in the effect system that was causing 1 orphaned thread per effect invocation

Updated:
- WebPFileType plugin to version 1.3.4.0, which adds XMP metadata support
- DDSFileTypePlus plugin to version 1.10.3. This fixes an issue with saving in the A1R5G5B5, A4R4G4B4, and R5G6B5 formats, and adds support for reading files that use a 'BC7' FourCC
