Out of interest, why did you make the textbox non-ready-only?

[APShredder]

I changed it to non-read-only simply for the reason that if someone wanted to enter their own path they could.

[Simon Brown]

Currently, if an incorrect path is entered and the other control is changed, PDN crashes.

[Simon Brown]

An alternative fix for that would be to replace:

if (FileNameBox.Text == "") return;

with:

if (!File.Exists(FileNameBox.Text)) return;

Although the new file still wouldn't just be loaded when the text is changed, to have that simply add a textchanged event to the textbox calling FinishedTokenUpdate().

[APShredder]

Ok Simon, I've update the plugin with your suggestions. Once again thanks for all the help you've put into this plugin.

A picture of what the plugin does would be far more useful than one of what the dialog looks like.

[Simon Brown]

That's better -although it doesn't currently refresh when the path in the textbox is changed.

Yeah, sorry about that. I meant to do that earlier but I got sidetracked. Screenshots added.

Actually it does, if you play with something else in the UI first.

I know, but I was suggesting refreshing it when the textbox text is changed.

[APShredder]

Not a bad idea, I'll look into it.

Great fist plug-in.

Yeah I think my next one will have some "kick".

Nice plugin APShredder! Love it.

[oma]

congrats on your first plugin. I'm not too sure where I'll use this. but will definitely try to work in into a picture when I've time to experiment and playfully push it to boundries you don't expect.

ciao OMA

[APShredder]

Thanks oma! I'd be honored to have my plugin used in one of your pictures.

Also, the plugin has been updated, so that the image changes when the file path is changed.

Any chance of adding Load from Clipboard to this one?

Or even better adding Dissolve as a blend mode to Blend Modes Plus?

[APShredder]

I'll work on the 'Copy From Clipboard' function sometime later this week. As for adding this to BlendModes Plus, I'd have to see what I can do.
