Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback! I wish there were permitted ways of doing what this plugin does, but I didn't find any . Hopefully, the plugin API would evolve and would eventually allow changing the canvas size and other things, allowing to write a legitimate version of this plugin.
It is true that the plugin may stop working someday (after switching to some newer Paint.NET version) since I access some internal classes and members which are likely to change.
But I see no way it can disable or break any existing or new Paint.NET features. It may prevent newer Paint.NET versions from starting, but it doesn't selectively pluck out any of the features
Thank you!
