[[BUG] UWP app: Can't choose to open .SVG with Paint.net]

W11 settings wouldn't allow svg association with Paint.net, seems to be hard wired on MS Edge. That can be changed to another app in the suggested list, Paint.net not being one of them, unfortunately. Setting the default for svg for a MS store app won't work as mentioned

If getting it on the suggested list is possible, great, otherwise attempting to find (the store) app on PC gets us to Where Is Paint.net, which isn't desirable either.

Maybe I should work on my presentation. I'm highly passionate about the project and I honestly do not like the icons. I mean, there's some good stuff in there, but I think it could be better.

 

Also the whole 'keep the colours the same' thing is more about muscle memory than any sort of feelings about the colour purple.

Suggest alternatives? Or read Ruskin. Tomes containing pages of copious explanation as to why they don't like stuff!

For me, they are fabulous, and @Zagna, is a link to the page enough for attribution? Thanks.

The Windows Store version requires FileType plugins to be installed into <Documents>\paint.net App Files\FileTypes.

See https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html#4  for more information.

Fantastic, thanks -that seems a lot better.

TBQH  it was a hard time trying to get anything into WindowsApps even when one had taken ownership of the folder. Plus bizarro ACL hiccups:

 

Spoiler

Came up with a script to handle that at reboot, but the FileRenameOperations key wouldn't update on completion of the script:

Spoiler

; Autohotkey req.

MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT := 0x4
MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING := 0x1
src := "C:\Users\New\Desktop\IcoCur.dll"
dst := "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\dotPDNLLC.paint.net_4.205.7213.0_x64__h55e3w7q8jbva\Bundled\IcoCur.dll"    
    if (DllCall("MoveFileEx", "STR", src, "STR", dst, "UINT", MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT | MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING))
    msgbox, 64, Success, IcoCur.dll to be moved to Bundle next reboot!
    else
    msgbox, 16, Failure, IcoCur.dll will not be moved to Bundle next reboot! Error was %A_LastError%

In any case, this is a better bet. What a relief!

Hi there! 😊

When buying PdotNET through Windows, and gaining access to WindowsApps folder, the likely candidate appears to be the Bundled folder where there are the DDSFileTypePlus and WebPFileType folders by default. Just popped it in there, no containing folder required?

The possibility of a plugin manager has been discussed before, might come in handy for this type of thing- but requires a bit of input.

Thanks for the plugin!
