Well, I think one of the Admins need to create a new subforum. I'm only a Comp Host and don't have the ability. I think the new subforum should be under The 'Plugins' forum. Then get a list ready for everything that needs to be moved. So, what say you Admins?? 🙂

Messing with code?? 😆 A mind-boggling experience to say the least (believe me, I know)... Great image. If you carved out some rows and columns, I can see a city-scape in there. 👍

Love the pumpkin and the marbles @Ladybug! 🥰 Nice work on the the Fall Front Door and Shiny Swirl has a metallic, iridescent look to it. You certainly were not idle. Welcome back! ☺️

I'm all for that @ReMake. It would be great to have all the custom files and presets in one place. When I had the Gradient Mapping problem this past weekend, I couldn't readily find your 'Presets for Gradient Mapping' thread. I had to use search. If we have a list of all custom files and presets I'm sure one of us could move the threads into the new subforum.

This is cool @Reptillian! Reminds me of a computer chip board. Thank you. ☺️

Glad I could help. For anyone else who has this extra folder, you must move your custom presets into it.

That's okay @Rick Brewster. At least it still works. Could be just my sys also. Thanks for replying.

That's a bit crazy. I finally got the installer to run after I gave it permission to share with myself! And the Advanced Menu was still showing it as version 1.7.0.1, but when I opened the plugin as @AndrewDavid suggested, it lists it as v1.7.0.2. So, I guess all is well. It might be the same with the .zip file. I did not open the plugin. 😆 FYI: Just verified that the .zip file contains version 1.7.0.2 also

Be aware @Pixey that the .dll in the zip file is not version 1.7.0.2. It is version 1.7.0.1. Right-click the .dll and click on Properties, then go the Details tab. It tells you what version it is.

FYI @Rick Brewster. I wanted to use Gradient Mapping plugin yesterday with a custom preset color that I moved into the Gradient Mapping folder under Effects Presets in the paint.net User files. When I opened the plugin the custom preset did not show up in the drop-down list. I clicked Manage Presets and it took me to a new folder, where the (3) default presets were also located. See below: Is this intentional to get Gradient Mapping working? The plugin works, don't get me wrong, you just have to copy custom presets to this folder now. Maybe it's just my system, I don't know. I can't tell you when this folder showed up either, as I don't use Gradient Mapping that much. I'm assuming it's after you got it to work in the alpha versions. I did not upgrade till a lot of bugs got fixed...alpha version 7921. All subsequent upgrades installed fine. Thank you!

FYI @toe_head2001 The installer does not run for me, even if I run as administrator. It simply won't open. In the download .zip version, it is still version 1.7.0.1. Can you update the zip to v1.7.0.2 please? Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial @Pixey ! Very easy to follow. 🥰

Thank you @ReMake for this 'cheesy' tutorial! 😆 Had a lot of fun with it! 😊

The poll is now open for 'Boltbait's DREAM Plugin'. It will be closed on Saturday, October 9th, 2021 - 2:00 PM (EST) & 7:00 PM (UK Time). World Clock Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful entries. May the best win!

Your abstracts are always so interesting @JulioCoolio. 🥰 You've got some great ideas brewing upstairs. Keep them coming! 👍

Hi @Pendulum128 and welcome to the forum. 🙂 When you are using the Export command, you are saving the shape as an .xaml file. You cannot directly save to the Shapes folder because Paint.net is currently open. Where do you save your .dhp files to? I made a folder under 'Documents' labeled 'Saved Shapes'. I save my newly created .dhp files and exported .xaml files to that folder. Then, making sure PDN is closed, I copy the .xaml file into the Shapes folder and re-open the program; then I can select it under the Shapes tool button. You do not open it with PDN; you need to copy it to the Shapes folder. Does this help?? Let us know.

Good to hear @Manc. Lovely vase. Way to go! 😃

Great use of Tile Reflection @Pixey. Has a beautiful sheen to it. 🤗

Congrats @Pixey! Your second ice cube was perfect. And thank you for hosting! 🤗

Wonderful! Works now for me. Also, nice sharp conversion from PNG to PDF, too. (I only tried it on a png file) This will save a lot of headaches tweaking PDF's. Thank you @otuncelli! ☺️

I imported a PDF file into Paint.net and made some changes to it. I saved it as a PDF and the resulting page was blank. I also experimented with a PNG file and has the same result. Here is the error message: Maybe I'm not using this correctly? @Marilynx may need to experiment with this.

I would use this @otuncelli. I alter PDF files frequently at work. I use Paint.net to do this. Let me run a few tests. Thank you! 😊

Beautiful glass apple @Pixey ❤️ Interesting reflection inside. I'd use it as a paperweight anytime! 🥰
