Running on Linux Mint 17.3, Pinta version 1.6
I tried opening a png by dragging it from the desktop and got an exception. The image is about 200x100px.
The details of the exception follow:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: must be greater than 0

You are using pretty much old version of Pinta. If I am not mistaken Linux Mint can use Ubuntu's PPA. Can you add PPA to your system from Download page: http:// pinta-project. com/releases and install Pinta 1.6 stable.
Please report back if problem still appears in Pinta 1.6.
