See, this is why I didn't mention it to the OP.

Very few people have issues with the plugin system, and once you have done it once it will seem like second nature. Make sure you're following these instructions to a T. Also, ensure that you're looking in the right spot in the Paint.NET interface for the plugin. If you have further questions, you can feel free to ask them in that thread or in this one. The workflow you've described really isn't possible with user-generated plugins, and would make a simple process rather complicated. As it stands, the DLL just needs to make it into the Paint.NET/Effects folder, and it will be picked up by the program at the next restart. All of that being said, a plugin browser has been tossed around for a while and will hopefully make an appearance eventually! Let us know if you need any more assistance.

Moving to Troubleshooting.

I'm going to move this over to the Troubleshooting forum.

Do you want to rotate an entire block of text or just individual layers? No matter what you do, in order to keep the background transparent, just make sure to put your text on a new layer before rotation.

How far are you zoomed in?

Then no. Apologies, this information isn't saved.

It isn't impossible. Paint.NET does support File Type plugins, so some enterprising plugin developer might take a stab at making a plugin that would load those files, assuming the filetype spec is somewhere publicly available. I, however, am not a plugin dev. So that person would not be me.

What do you mean by "alpha save setting?"

Unfortunately, Paint.NET doesn't feature "true" drawing tablet support - it's basically treating the pen tablet like a mouse input because it doesn't know how to deal with it any other way. The angles you're getting come from the slow refresh of the mouse input tracker. It's not a Paint.NET bug, it's just the way that particular functionality works on the system. Better drawing tablet implementation is something that is being considered for a future release, but as for now there's really no way to fix it. I'd recommend drawing it out on Paint or SmoothDraw and importing it into Paint.NET, which I assume is what you're already doing.

Where did you download it from? If it wasn't from getpaint.net, you should delete the file you downloaded and re-download the legitimate file. Second, how are you extracting it? You should use the built-in Windows extractor for most consistent results.

Actually, this question should be asked in the thread for that plugin. You're much more likely to get an answer there.

You really should upgrade to the latest version of Paint.NET. We cannot offer support for older versions on this forum. Check out the forum rules, please. :-) Thank you!

Not relevant. Spam suspected. Super old thread locked.

Agreed. I's like to see a tutorial on that, MJW.

Hmm. Interesting thought. Personally, I don't know if I like the idea of stratifying different classes of Paint.NET users, but I might be convinced.

Good call. Added a note to that effect up top. BoltBait, EER, and Pyro are sysops. I'm more like the guy with the mop bucket. Just consider this thread a Wet Floor sign.

Hey everybody! So, you may have noticed that there's been a lot of spam around here recently. Sorry about that. Looks like some Korean spammer has identified us as a good dumping ground for their Google-gaming. (If you're one of those spammers, Hi! Get out.) The mod staff has tried several things to stem the tide, which I won't go into here, but we do want to be sensitive to legitimate users joining for legitimate reasons. In the meantime, we're just playing whack-a-mole with the spammers. Please bear with us; we have moderators covering most of the globe, so if there's spam there's probably a moderator available soon to take it down. We're doing our best, but we're humans and they're robots, so it's going to be a difficult battle. If there are any updates that we feel the community should know, we'll make them in this thread. (And seriously, spammers? Out. Now.) Lots of spam? Can't find your post? If your question is buried under tons of spam, we're sorry. Rest assured, there will be a mod around soon to get rid of it. In the meantime, you can find your post by clicking your username in the top-right corner of the site, then hitting "Your Content." All of your posts should be there. Thanks for bearing with us! - - - Incidentally, as of December 8, our mod staff had zapped over 10,000 posts from hundreds of spam accounts.

Please post this question in the thread for that plugin. You're most likely to get an answer there. Thanks!

It allows you to resize the image significantly while keeping the subject and other objects in the image at full size within the frame. It's actually very useful.

It was last edited over seven years ago, and the developer hasn't been online in just as long. I'm guessing no. It barely worked with 3.x.

Well, guidelines aren't the same thing as control. I wrote the guidelines, I've seen how many times they've been broken. The only way to be sure that people are following all the rules to the letter is to individually approve each post, and as you noted.... My one-year-old does not understand what it means to moderate a forum. Silly kid.

Yes, that is exactly what was happening. I've cleared it out. Things should be back to normal now. Side note: Please watch your language. This is a family friendly forum. Side note 2: if you want to find a thread you've posted previously, click on your username in the top right corner of the page, then hit "My Content." You'll see a list of all your threads there.

The forum search is....not great. The Google custom search Pixey linked to is much better.
