I just went to post to the troubleshooting plugins thread and had a flash of insight while typing. I tried my solution and it worked. So you don't specifically have to respond here (or there!) but I wanted to share. I simply uninstalled the version I bought in the MS store & installed the free version from the web, and your wonderful plugin is back where it belongs!

Hello, I cross-posted this on the specific plugin page where I downloaded, per instructions. But I fear it's paint.net itself so I'm asking here as well. I was using our Admin's excellent jigsaw puzzle effect for the past year and it suddenly disappeared from the Effects/Render drop down menu. I downloaded the zip file, extracted it, and when I went to put it in the Effects folder, it was still there. I was baffled! Then it occurred to me that instead of just donating frequently, I bought pdn from the Microsoft store, which automatically does updates. I believe one of those updates caused some plugins to stop being accessible to me. I was right! I uninstalled pdn then grabbed the free version on the web, installed it, and the jigsaw puzzle plugin was back. Sharing this in case anyone else has such a problem. I read a lot on the how to install plugins page and it has an explanation about how to do it with the MS version, but my directory tree looked nothing like the example so I couldn't really use it. My solution seems easy and it worked - so I'll just go back to donating freely and forget the version I bought from MS.

Hello, I've been using your excellent plugin for just over a year, but it suddenly disappeared from the Effects/Render drop down menu! I downloaded the zip file again and when I opened paint.net directory, the dll file was still there. I am at a loss as to why paint.net is no longer showing it. I'm going to cross post this in the general troubleshooting forum but the rules say to ask about plugins in the specific thread where it was downloaded. Thanks for any help!

I had no idea how much I needed this until I saw it! Thank you SO much for an excellent plugin!!

Hey Rick, I apologize if I offended anyone. I was genuinely asking for information because (as I said) I just arrived. I'm not trying to scold anyone! I was actually honestly surprised the thread abruptly stopped two years ago. Thanks for the explanation in your follow-up post.

Hey all, just arrived here and ..... I am a little surprised and somewhat disappointed that nothing new has been added for two years. I am running v 4.0.10 of PDN, and the eraser tool is still a circle. Has nobody really addressed this, or am I just missing something because nobody is talking about it anymore? TIA for any info. I see the workarounds and can do them, but ugh. Just as time-consuming as clicking one pixel at a time.
