convert .png files of line art to .xaml,
Depends on what the converted file looks like. Would you post an example to see how much editing is required?

Hi @Samppu
Three steps that will get you close. Edit the original spoked wheel to get variations on the final step.

It was this post that got me started on the DDS file types. Before that I had no use for DDS file types. Once I did a search and found they existed on my hard drive I explored ways of looking at them without installing the DDS file type that existed before yours. Never tried to open them directly with Paint.

Thank you @null54
Found over 478 DDS files on my computer. I was using Visual Studio to convert them to png. This sure saves a lot of time.

This error after updating the latest index has returned. Running Ver 1.2.0.3
Becoming a known issue
Note 2
It appears to only affect those plugins I have bookmarked. Removing the bookmark removes the error. Attempting to add the bookmark works but generates the error again. Hope that narrows it down.

Hi @Cauptain
I might be missing something but the easy way to do this is place your moldure on the top layer, resize your pictures to desired fit. Select outside edges with magic wand, move to 2nd layer image and press delete. Merge layers and voila!

@TrevorOutlaw Thanks for showing me the basic concepts. Learned a few things with Alpha Mask and Brush Factory.
Artistic freedom used to enhance with a few other plugins. Trail and Scatter to name a few. Here's my end result.

You'll need to convince me of its merit.
If you find changing the decimal place makes sense - 16X would be a valid requirement to get in real close to make those fine adjustments.
Might be overkill but I want it to be the best it can be. If we had a larger canvas it would make sense too.
I am thinking of another plugin like liquefy that allows a 1600X magnification and tells me it should be possible.
Might need Zach's help with that.
Thanks for listening.
Maybe a XMAS present?

Mixed up how? Please share the details.
Create a shape with Circles. 3 or 4 should be enough. Save as Shape. Rotate the current shape 30°. Import the shape you just saved and see how it renames the circles. At least that is what I remember it doing. It considers all circles as ellipses. Also when you have a series of ellipses and (MZ)Ellipses - moving them changes their label but doesn't effect the shape.

or perhaps I misunderstood you.
You can set reference points to decimal places. a snap to grid at .25 would ensure lines are even each side of the shape. There is no dialogue in the screen view to see the decimal. Once saved as XAML file and opened in notepad - you can see the decimal places.

a 16X zoom is what I meant.
Good luck with the knob thing.
I'm sure we will all be around for awhile in anticipation of the next update.
You all did a wonderful job with fixing the 3DShape plugin.
Shapemaker is one of the best plugins of Paint.Net.
Thanks for you time.

the next major version (v1.5)
Quit teasing. It's been three months!
I've been spending a lot of time inside this plugin and find it amazing at times. One question - Is it designed to allow the import of more than one shape at a time? It does seem to work well but once in awhile the nubs get a little mixed up. There are times when exporting the shape - it increases the grid to 1000X1000 which results in a file that cannot be imported back into Shapemaker.
About the next version - here's my wish list
a ) An increase snap to grid size - scalable would be nice - anything from .10 to .25 would allow more detailed shapes
b ) A larger canvas than 500 than 500
c ) A higher zoom as well for these old eyes
d ) the rotation knob could use a snap to 5 degree increments - or a slider control that allows arrow key adjustments.
Hopefully some of these are already in the works. I think you guys like challenges as well. Thanks for reading.

Johnny Galecki / Dr. Leonard Hofstadter look alike for sure

@Pixey Have you not updated shapemaker to version 1.4?

Hi @Imagine4
I found your links to wiki interesting reading. You do have skill in drawing those dragons. I see how you used the fractals as reference points. Very smart.
I can't draw any animal shape for the life of me. These fractals might help. I'll have to give them a try one day.

@welshblue If you have 2 files - that tells me when you loaded "untitled" ghost to rename it to "ghost" it created a second file. Renaming in the title box creates a new file/shape.

Hi @Phil E.
42 minutes ago, Phil E. said:Actually, EVERYTHING I TRIED did not work.
Where does your Phil.xaml come from?
If it was made in shapemaker then something works.
If you made it outside of shapemaker it wont work.
See if this helps

Hello @anunusualwoman
I remembered another member who had the same request. Here's the responses he got. Hope it helps.

Welcome to the forum.
The default format for paint.net is PDN. Changing it would be a step in the wrong direction. It is default for a reason.
Another app that only supports .jpg would be your choice if you are insistent on that procedure.

Hi @Domsa
Something is surely wrong with your PC environment. @Copyright for Windows 10 should read 2017 NOT 2015.
Your crash log is reporting inaccurate information as well.
Could it have something to do with the installation going to the GAMES directory when it should be in PROGRAM FILES.
Just my observations.

Hi @Eli
Median would be my choice - with a large amount of patience depending on how good you would like the finished product.

Have you the app Kaxaml? It no longer exists but it is designed to read XAML files more easily then shapemaker. I've used it a few times to convert the geometric output from shapemaker into a PDN Shape. I'm still curious about what your converted file looks like internally.
