Does Paint have a 64 bit edition? And does Thumbnails work in Win8.1?

Does Paint have a 64 bit edition? And does Thumbnails work in Win8.1? I just got a new computer so I'm still setting up shop.

No, because there are not enough reasons for it yet. The 32 bit version works on 64 bit Windows just fine and many people don't give a damn and would be annoyed if they downloaded the 64-bit version (just because 64 > 32) and then it would not work on their 32-bit Windows. Plus there is a problem with Photoshop plug-ins. Most of them are 32-bit and 32-bit and 64-bit code cannot be mixed in a single process. I would have to work around that to make the 64-bit version able to use Ps plug-ins. It will eventually happen, but as I said above, there are no good reasons to spend time on that right now.

The thumbnails should work, though they are a bit outdated. A new version will come together with the icon editor.

That's me, sorry. Just got a new cookie eater plugin.

(Bad computer! No more cookies for you!)

First time I ever saw Vlasta use a bad word 😉.
