  1. Hi @TempAccount

    The quick answer is you can't.

    The proper location is C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\paint.net User Files\Palettes

    This is where Paint looks to load your palettes. It is hard coded and can not be adjusted.

    You could install the portable version that allows you to put the app and all its related folders anywhere you want.

    For example

    C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop\PaintNetPortable\UserFiles\Palettes

    Hope this helps :)

    @1600x900 100% Scaling.

    1360X768 100% Scaling  Exact same image.

     

    CloudEffectConfigDialog.cs
    Line 500
          //    AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.Dpi;
    changed to
                AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.Font;
    corrects my display.

    I have slightly modified and recompiled the effect so that it displays correctly at the recommended Display Settings (125% in my case)

    It could be noted that this version does not display correctly at 100%.

  4. Text editing is just fine in Paint.Net. You just have to learn the workarounds.

    The op asked how. Here is my answer.

    Text is always written on its own layer. Use the font name to name the layer.

    If the text has the possibility of being edited in the future, write it out in a .txt file first.

    Then copy and paste into the layer. Name the .txt file the same as the .PDN file.

    I doubt Paint is being used to write textbooks or wiki pages.

    Hope this helps. :)

    is there another equally useful plugin out there that can do the same job as this one?

    Hi @PunkN13

    You can try Color Replace, Recolour Choice, or Replace Colors just to name a few. All found in the Plugin Index.

    It really is determined by the graphic you are modifying. Some work well, some don't.

    Sad the author never returned and abandoned his GitHub post.

    I very much doubt the plugin will be rewritten due to other available choices.

    Hope this helps.

  6. I used Paint.net 4.3.10. 

     

    VS2022 17.2.0 preview 5.0 is my current version. There was 2 updates last week. the first update 17.2.0 Preview 4.0 I believe resolved the issue.

     

    Rather than building it from scratch, I used a template from a project that was working for me when I started learning VS. I used it to build ColorCount (a smaller form based plugin). I then created another template from the working ColorCount to build ZoomBlurDeluxe. What was interesting was the size of these 2 templates. The first one was 19MB. When I loaded it, I found a lot of unnecessary files like all the dlls from Paint.net. I removed them and when I built the next template, it turned  out just a 55kb file size. Maybe it was practice and determination. I have been called a bulldog before. :)
