[grimulf]

I'm having problems w/CustomBrushesMini v1.9

History - Had Paint.net 3.36 , Orginal CustomBrushes.dll- worked good/great

Updated to 3.5 added CustomBrushesMini(unsure which version) worked fine.

Updates to 3.5.1 -added CustomBrushesMini v1.9 Now I'm getting this error

This plugin has encountered an error, and must be closed.

File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\CustomBrushesMini.dll

Effect Name: CustomBrushesMini.CustomBrushesMiniEffect

Full error message: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void

Make sure you copied SBCommon.dll over as well as CustomBrushesMini.dll when installing it.

Hello again,

1. Is the newest CBM backward compatiable to 3.36? PDN, thought I would get updated plugin pack(if not please tell me and ignore #2)

2. I get this error;

File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\CustomBrushesMini.dll

Effect Name: CustomBrushesMini.CustomBrushesMiniEffect

Full error message: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.IServiceProvider PaintDotNet.Effects.Effect.get_Services()'.

at CustomBrushesMini.CustomBrushesMiniEffect.CreateConfigDialog()

at PaintDotNet.Menus.EffectMenuBase.RunEffect(Type effectType)

Thanks for you help,I have tried to "extract to" and put in to effecfs (twice)also I extraced to a seperate file and copy, paste in to effects to no avail, overwriting old each time.

Thanks again,

Kart

Is the newest CBM backward compatiable to 3.36?

Not actively. I would suggest upgrading but I imagine you have a good reason for not doing so.

I just downloaded the version 1.9 and extracted it to the effects folder as usual when downloading a plugin, but when I went to run it for a picture I'm working on, a window prompted me to restart Paint.NET ((I have the most up to date sub-version of 3.5 for PDN)) I clicked a button for error details and it gave me this:

File: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\CustomBrushesMini.dll

Effect Name: CustomBrushesMini.CustomBrushesMiniEffect

Full error message: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'SBCommon, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.

To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.

Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.

To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I restarted Paint.NET several times and continue to get the same error message. What am I doing wrong?

[Simon Brown]

Make sure you copy over SBCommon.dll when installing.

[Shad Hedge]

It's working now, thanks.

Edit: It works for a little bit, but it still occasionally gives me errors. Restarting paint.NET seems to alleviate the errors so I can manage....

Edit again: despite adding the file you told me to, the plugin caused PDN to crash on me. I only hope it managed to save my work since it crashed in the middle of the "recomended restart" of PDN.

Hi!

Because I highly value using the CustomBrushesMini (frequently), reporting this problem.

In fact, I'm having the same problem as previously mentioned in this thread.

Was using CustomBrushesMini w/no problems in PDN 3.3.6.

Then...because of Checking For Updates, .NET framework & PDN updated to lastest.

So..now using PDN 3.5.1, went to use CustomBrushesMini & was notified newer avail.

So downloaded/extracted lastest zip bundle to PDN Effects folder.

Here are the version(s) of these 2 DLLs:

CustomBrushesMini.dll v1.9.0.0

SBCommon.dll v3.0.0.0

So, I can access & doodle within CustomBrushesMini screen, but after clicking OK, doodle(s) disappear upon returning to the main PDN screen - this behaviour never occurred in PDN 3.3.6

OS is XP Home SP3.

Let me know if I can supply additional info to assist in debugging.

Peace...John

[Simon Brown]

This might be a stupid question but is the layer you're using CBM on visible and opaque?

[Shad Hedge]

For me, visible layer yes. Opaque layer no. I was working with something that needed the layer transparent except for the brush effects. But I've done this many times before and this is the first I've had a problem.

[Simon Brown]

Could you post a screenshot? Obviously it doesn't need to be on your current project, just something the problem occurs with.

[GoRoovy]

Here are 3 screenshots:

1) Before using Custom w/single paintstroke

2) During Custom w/additional single custom paintstroke added

3) After clicking OK & returning to main PDN screen (minus custom paintstroke)

[Shad Hedge]

I'll try and get a screenshot of what's happening to me, but I just tried to re-create it and it worked perfectly. Darn you Merphy's law. I'll get a screenshot as soon as I can tho.

[GoRoovy]

I had posted the screenshots as per your request.

Any thoughts on what might be causing the the Mini

paintstroke/brushstroke to disappear???

Peace...John

[Simon Brown]

Sorry, I mistook Shad Hedge's reply for yours. As for your question, i'm afraid I have no idea.

[Sarkut]

GoRoovy:

extracted lastest zip bundle to PDN Effects folder.

If you use the extract function to install the plugin files,

I believe they should be extracted to the Paint.NET program folder.

PdN may be using the older .dlls still.

[Simon Brown]

@Sarkut: I can tell from the screenshots that he's using the latest version.

[Sarkut]

Cool.

[GoRoovy]

Yes - this is quite the mystery.

Here's some more info that may help to debug.

Uninstalled PDN 3.5.1

Reinstalled PDN 3.3.6

Placed these dlls in the now empty Effects folder:

CustomBrushesMini.dll v1.7.1.0

SBCommon.dll v2.0.0.0

And...all was well once again - custom paintstroke made it's way back to main PDN screen.

Then....clicked on Check For Updates & allowed PDN to be once again updated to v3.5.1

Did not change/update any Effect dlls.

Problem occurred once again.

Also...I took note of this when the process was successful:

- draw custom paintstroke on Custom screen

- click OK to return to main PDN screen

- a little popup screen quickly appears/disappears on top of main PDN screen (status for a process-in-progress?)

- custom paintstroke appears on main PDN screen

When the process is failing, this little popup screen does not appear at all.

It goes straight from custom-to-main screen(s) without any intervening process.

Hopefully this info may help.

I'll remain at PDN 3.3.6 in order to use CustomBrushesMini.dll v1.7.1.0.

Thanks & Peace...John

howdy, i posted this on the draw with photohop brushes tutorial aswell to ensure that it gets answered,s orry if i piss anyone off

im having some didfficulties with this. i can upload the brushes easily, get them into paint.net etc, but it has some weird bugs.

if i put a brush on my canvas, undo it, then put the brush on again, and stuff up again and decide to undo it, it wont undo. so basically i can only undo it once =[

also, i cant delete brushes from the selection of brushes on the side when in paint.net. Is there a way to delete some of the brushes because some i dont want anymore?

please help me if u have a solution to these problems

Make sure you're using the latest version. Yes, I should really put the version number in the titlebar.

also, i cant delete brushes from the selection of brushes on the side when in paint.net. Is there a way to delete some of the brushes because some i dont want anymore?

Go to Documents\Paint.NET User Files\Custom Brushes and delete the brushes there, but not while CBM is running.

[shirobu]

ok i was able to get rid of the brushes, thanks a lot for that m8

however, when downloading it, i just downloaded the first download link from http://www.isimonbrown.co.uk/plugin-pack.htm

was i not meant to download that one? is there a newer version? cheers again

[Simon Brown]

Yes, that site has the latest version, but obviously it depends when you downloaded it.

[CyberSpace]

Even in version 1.9, if you change the brush size by typing a new number in the box, the brush size will not be changed until you use the brush twice. At least the undo bug is fixed.

Please fix this bug.
