Now, thats exactly what I want. Now. I am not an Artist, how did you do this? I need easy steps.

So how do I create plugins with this new alpha build? Looking forward to having the latest C# features with the plugin Im creating. I get assembly reference conflicts with "WindowsBase.dll" where my plugin wants 5.0.0 and yours wants 4.6.0.

Well done @otuncelli Issue resolved. Once I removed the other plugin, yours took over. No need to scroll down and select filetype. If the file is a true SVG, paint opens it automatically. Thank you for the updated plugin.

I'm pretty sure they changed all of that with .NET Core and .NET 5.

OK, I will accept that. What I meant by the 'Regedit' remark was that Microsoft have a page where they show you which is the correct key to look for in RegEdit to determine the .Net version, and mine only showed 4.8. Sorry for any confusion Brian

Any plugin using OptionBasedLibrary will be broken with Paint.NET 4.3 / .NET 5. @midora needs to update OptionBasedLibrary to use MenuStrip / ContextMenuStrip.

I don't know what you mean by "Regedit example", but if you're able to launch (the non-portable) PDN 4.3 then you have .NET 5 installed. Simple as that.

You're using the other SVG import plugin. I'm getting the same error message when i try to use the other one. Seems like it hasn't been updated for a long time so i would expect it to fail on .NET 5. This one doesn't use OptionBasedLibrary and it's only a single file.

@otuncelli File loads into Paint without error However it does not open my test svg file Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu' from assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=5.0.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. at System.Windows.Forms.Control.MarshaledInvoke(Control caller, Delegate method, Object[] args, Boolean synchronous) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(Delegate method, Object[] args) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(Delegate method) at OptionBasedFileTypes.SvgFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 501 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158 Back to the drawing board

Links updated to v1.03.1 🥰 Thanks to @AlexDolmatov and @AndrewDavid Changelog: Fixed a dependency loading problem.

Rick, According to Microsoft's Regedit example, I only have 4.8 installed Brian

I have a test file opened, although there is a svg.dll missing error. Details here: https://github.com/otuncelli/Scalable-Vector-Graphics-Plugin-for-Paint.NET/issues/13

@otuncelli Unable to load in beta 4.3.7881 C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes\SvgFileType.dll, version 1.0.3.0 System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Svg, Version=3.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=12a0bac221edeae2'. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'Svg, Version=3.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=12a0bac221edeae2' I checked 3 times to ensure everything was placed correctly.

August Update One new plugin this month - filled with colorful possibilities! Rainbowify Reptillian Converts the average of RGB channel into Hue Range, and then add a gradient, and finally wrap it around to [0-1) range. Inspired by the Rainbowify effect by Jonathan Frech. G'MIC and CodeLab source provided.

I've attached a zipped .pdn file. You can download it and look at each layer to see what is involved. BARO MAP 02.zip

The Recolor tool will not work for this. If there are areas of similar color to be removed set the Magic Wand Flood Mode to Global. (Or hold down the Shift key). All similar colors will be selected, then Delete. If many of the colors are different, hold the Ctrl key down and click on each area that you want to remove, then Delete.

I think I know of a solution to do exactly that at the code level. Would that work?

Links updated to v1.03 🥰 Changelog: Removed ASP.NET dependency of SVG.NET library.

You are going to have to be more specific. What don't you know how to do? Layers? Blend Modes? Gradients?

I sill dont know how.

@munleyj You asked this question already and received an answer

How do I color a map like this? I am using a blank map.

anyone have any tips currently using wand + del, but hav 100's of areas to make transparent on maps TIA

That's intentional. I changed the cursor graphic to the standard crosshair.
