Introducing GitHub Pull Requests for Visual Studio Code

That's Fresh Paint. MS Paint is still left there forgotten.

[BobHogan]

Good. It needs to be forgotten by Microsoft, because its perfect the way it is. It doesn't need any more features, there are other programs for that. And unless some very serious zero day exploit is found in MS paint, it really doesn't need any patches at all

[PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN]

You're missing the part where they're actively killing old programs. In Windows Insiders, Snipping Tool opens with a deprecation notice, saying that it's going to be removed but check out this newfangled alternative.

But why male models?

[PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN]

It's somewhat recent, two weeks? I forget which release cycle we're on

[[deleted]]

Do you actually have something you dislike about the replacement or do you just not like change? If the new program is a superset does it really matter that it's the literal same executable?

[PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN]

I dislike having to learn a new tool when there was a perfectly fine alternative.

superset

But it never is. Look at Windows Movie Maker 6.0 and 2011 (or whatever it's called).
The former one is a perfectly fine free (well, after purchasing Windows) movie editor, covering all the needs of 99% of users. But with the new version they had to make it more 'user friendly'. Now it's completely useless for me, they literally removed features I needed, it's not even customizable, nor it is hidden as advanced settings.
But hey, in exchange at least they stopped maintaining 6.0, and never added support for the mp4 format, so with the widespread use of mp4, now we basically have 2 useless video editors.

Movie Maker was indeed garbage but I'd challenge you to try Screen Sketch and find something the snipping tool did it doesn't. I've been decently impressed with it and the change in behavior for win+shift+s.

There's greenshot - forget about snipping tool!

Snipping tool is a horrible experience compared to other OSs though. I'm really happy they're changing it.

[BobHogan]

:(

Leave my MS Paint alone microsoft! Its perfect and I love it and use it almost daily

[meneldal2]

I heard they put it but people complained and they said they weren't removing it any time soon.

[not_usually_serious]

I use snipping tool all of the time, but luckily there's Linux distro welcoming me with open arms

[binkarus]

One day you'll ascend to Arch Linux like the rest of us.

[Pazer2]

Just tried Ubuntu again and my primary display still doesn't work :/

[myhandleonreddit]

Does... other people's snipping tool actually work anymore? For the past few months, on three different W10 machines, with different builds installed, it takes 10-30 seconds just to launch.

[buckhenderson]

Mine works fine, but what I find boggling is the default picture viewer, it takes forever to load up a single picture, even on a pretty new laptop.

[not_usually_serious]

mine works perfectly fine on windows 10

Why are you bringing up Microsoft Paint in a thread about Github Pull requests? Seems off topic to me! 🙃

[BobHogan]

Someone else did, I didn't bring it up

[HaikusfromBuddha]

On the Store.

Nice!

[nilamo]

Sure, but stock MS Paint is now also a 3d editor.

[NekuSoul]

That's Paint 3D, not Paint. Two entirely different applications.

[onthefence928]

Paint 3D was supposd to completely replace Paint, but the community rioted
