mumu64 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have downloaded plugins/fx from Pyrochild and am now wondering: why aren't these (and/or other plugin-packages) included in the paint.net setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Not every user needs every plugin. Why making the setup extremely huge? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null54 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 There is also the issue of copyright. In order to redistribute any plugin with Paint.NET, @Rick Brewster would have to get permission from the plugin author. 1 Quote Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If the plugins were included, Rick would have to roll out a new version of pdn each time there was a bug fix in one of the plugins. The separation means Rick is not responsible for any issues a plugin might have. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I totally agree with the arguments given above but if any further effects were to be built-in, Pyro's 'Liquify' and 'Smudge' would be on my wish list! I remember as a new user thinking less of Pdn because it did not have (to my knowledge at that time) many of the Gimp or PS tools. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............
