@MJW Are we forgetting you can use the eraser to clear the contents without loosing the selection? Just make the eraser large enough to cover the selection with one click. You can then switch layers and repeat.

Software updates do tend to hurt things 😉

Hello @pat71896 Found under Best Creativity Apps. Click on See All @Rick Brewster Clearly Microsoft is hiding your app from the search tool.

I think he is just "Testing" us.

If you have the original texture, you may want to use Shape3D and start from the beginning. It would be a bit of work, but you can rotate it to your hearts desire. If you need to create the texture/pattern, there is a tut that can help you. Although your image appears to be on a transparent layer, it is not.

Hi @MommaHobbit Have you tried Copy image to clipboard. Create new image 4 times larger than copied image. Run Paste From Clipboard and select tiling option.

EER & TR - no-one has noticed my deliberate mistake in the code yet? @Red ochre Too late to mention it now. 9 year old thread.

Here I have combined 2 built in effects into one plugin I think users will find usefull. If you use Ink Sketch at all, the added benefit of being able to adjust the Brightness and Contrast at the same time should prove to be very usefull. I have added the 6.0 to identify the version of .Net the plugin is built on. Original Default settings - Color Sketch Modified with Brightness/Contrast Many variations are available than just using Ink Sketch alone. Play with the controls to see how they all work together to modify your image. Credit goes to Codelab, a tool used to combine these plugins. Well worth learning. Place in your "C:\Users\XXXXXX\Documents\paint.net App Files\Effects" folder or your "C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects" folder. Find it under Effects\Artistic. Download Enjoy

@BenTheMiner There was an issue with the Cascadia font. Does it appear in your Font list?

Discussed here as well

Taken from @BoltBait's examples; I am trying to get "Arial" as the default selection. Yes I have Arial installed. Adamas is the first font I have installed. I have tried running Lesson 4 from Codelab, but the results are the same. I suspect the code to change the default Font selection has changed.

Have you looked at It has a 2D mode for 3D maps. Also shows you the capabilities of designing everything on one layer.

Thanks - this resolved the issue. Never knew there was this option. Or - forgot all about it.

Is this intentional? Explorer shows the "Date created" and never changes.

You need to install the files to the C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects folder

@Red ochre Here's an example script from Codelab as @ReMake suggested. It's all you need to generate a Net 6.0 Solution. You just need to add your code and correct the mistakes you will find. I successfully re-built this plugin in the time it took me from post 2 hours ago.

@toe_head2001 You have something else to make try-convert show Net 6.0 This is what I have installed; However when I run Try-Convert the highest choice I see is No need to show all the choices, They are listed newest to oldest. I find only works in all cases. Perhaps its the utility you use to decompile the DLL (I use JetBrainsDotPeek 2021.3.1

@Red ochre Which plugin are you trying to update? Hopefully its a small plugin to get started with. I have a method, but would like to try it before I suggest it. This method doesn't work on all plugins, especially Form based ones. If its an effect plugin the method should work. I have been converting some old plugins to Net 6.0 with some success. The menus in VS2022 will change depending on the Net framework the plugin is based on. No wonder its confusing. VS2022 will not let you upgrade directly any plugin designed with net 4.8 or earlier. Try-convert is designed to update to Net 5.0. I've had it convert some plugins to Core 2.0 which won't work with Paint.net.

I'll mention it locks the text as well. You can move it around the canvas, but you can no longer edit.

The first 12 columns are blank. Add 1 line of black in column 1 in bottom layer, add one square to top and right. Issue resolved to maintain size as gif.

Properly documented for @Rick Brewster Nice to see what I have been seeing for the past month. Didn't report it because I thought it was a VS thing. I may have mentioned it before. Build a new form based project in VS2022 without any references. I used the above to get it to link to Net 6.0 Without adding any code, add a blank form. Once you see it open properly, add references to Paint and then close the form. Try to open the form and watch the designer try to open. Then you receive this error Hopefully he can figure it out.

Another workaround here: I managed to fix this error by downloading the Wacom driver from their website. https://www.wacom.com/en-ca/support/product-support/drivers#latest Rebooted and everything works fine. Wacom recognizes I have no tablet connected. Maybe one day......

I keep getting this error mesage; File: C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\paint.net App Files\Effects\DynamicDraw version 3.0 Alpha\DynamicDraw.dll Full error message: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'Wintab32.dll' or one of its dependencies: The specified module could not be found. (0x8007007E) where is Wintab32.dll?

I feel your Pain @stefanob. I have an old game that only runs in 640X480. I never could get it to work in Win10. It was called Sudden Strike. The origins of what we now know as World of Tanks. What pray tell is the name of the Microsoft app that you can't run in Win 10?

I take it you have Windows Update turned off. I wonder how many you have missed. I think that's the real issue.
