    Do the above shortcuts in the \Effects\Analog Efex Pro 2 folder (and the ones in the other folders) definitely still point to the location of the actual .8bf files?
    If the shortcuts are 'broken', then the effect will not be listed.

    Also, rather than have links in the \Effects\AnalogEfexPro2 folder to each of the actual .8bf files, you could just put a folder shortcut in \Effects to the actual AnalogEfexPro2 folder. And do the same for your other folders.


    It all works OK here with any of:

    - actual .8bf files in \Effects or in a subfolder

    - shortcuts in \Effects or in a subfolder to the .8bf files

    - shortcuts in \Effects or in a subfolder to the folders containing the .8bf files

    If any of the shortcuts are broken then, obviously, the effect is not listed.

     

     

    That's it!!!

    I am soo stupid.

    Somehow I created these as links and did not copy the actual files back on windows 10.

    When I then backed things up and re-added the filters in my new windows 11 pc... I added the links but missed the actual files these links point to!

     

    Now I need these filters again... but it looks like that they arent available for free to download anymore?

    These are the old google NIK Collection Filters and all i can find now is a free 30 day trail but not the ones I had there anymore. :(

    https://www.google.com/nikcollection/ is gone.

     

    Anyway, thanks a bunch to you all who tried to help me solve my issue here. In the end it was is in most cases.... User-Error!

    It's definitely not the issue.  Look at the installation instructions for this and every other plug-in.

     

    It may not be the issue as my change to paint-net did not solve it.

    But using paint-net is not the issue either.

    To be consistent, I uninstalled and re-installed to the common path again:
     

    PS C:\Program Files\paint.net> dir .\Effects\
    
    
        Directory: C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects
    
    
    Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name

    Sadly with the same result, that no filter shows to be chosen in the 8bf Filter menu.

    Here I add the content of the PSFilterPdn folder:

    PS C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects> dir .\PSFilterPdn\
    
    
        Directory: C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects\PSFilterPdn

    And one of the Filter folders, too:

    The normal installation folder for the application is C:\Program Files\paint.net

     

    How have you ended up with C:\Program Files\paint-net ?

     

    Could this be the reason that you are not seeing the effects?

    I ended up with paint-net because I thought maybe the "." in the path is the issue so i reinstalled paint.net to paint-net ;)

    I have no idea what the issue could be. It works for me when I place filters in the Effects folder.

    What version of PSFilterPdn are you using? I probably should put the version in the title bar of the Effect dialog.

    PSFilterShim.exe is 2.0.6

    I used this before on Windows 10 now i got a new PC and... somehow i dont get the same filters to show anymore.

    It does not matter where i put the filters and point to them, they are not showing.

  5. I am trying to add filters to paint.net 5.0.12 but none are shown.

    Running Windows 11 Pro, Paint.net 5.0.12 with Search directory set to:
    C:\Program Files\pain-net\Effects

     

        Directory: C:\Program Files\paint-net\Effects
