So.... I wanted to try and add blend modes but stumbled on a problem.

In GetLayerXmlData, if I use layer.BlendOp.ToString() it returns the localized string instead of a generic english version.

So.... somebody help? What am I doing wrong?

WebP for .NET

Maybe someone could check if that could be used in a PDN plugin? I only looked at it briefly and no idea if it can.

May 11, 2011

I just thought up a complex way of doing something a little like that...

Create a new layer
Draw a line on that new layer, thick or thin
Select the line with either a magic wand or whatever you want
Hide the new layer
Select the original layer
Now your operation is limited in the selected area

That could be one way of going around it?

I just noticed there's a lil bug somewhere in the code...

stack.xml has the right dimensions, but for some reason the lowest and rightmost strips of pixels are discarded completely.

so layer0.png is 1 pixel shorter and thinner....

null54 to the rescue?

Edit: the culprit seems the be bounds in OnSave and the unsafe bit...

Edit2: +1 addition to the rescue! .exe in the first post has been updated

// bounds = new Rectangle(left, top, (right - left), (bottom - top)); // clip it to the visible rectangle

bounds = new Rectangle(left, top, (right - left)+1, (bottom - top)+1); // clip it to the visible rectangle

The .exe doesn't magically update itself

When null54 saves the plugin by giving updated code, I gotta copy that code into VS 2010, compile it, test it quickly, wrap it in the NSIS installer and then copy it to the download location.

And right now the installer has been updated with null54's latest version so it should work once again

February 24, 2011

I have no idea what the problem is. It used to work fine earlier..... what if it's due to 3.5.7's changes.... no idea at all.

It's happening to me too, PDN 3.5.7 and Win 7 SP1.

February 9, 2011

Ok, how did it happen?

Just look at the picture, it's very self explanatory. Expression Web SuperPreview showing the page in IE8 and IE8 Compatibility View. Comp View is the 'buggy' one.

February 9, 2011

I was able to repro it :mrgreen: sort of...

February 6, 2011

I can easily open .ora files created with MyPaint and that error sounds like it's file in a strange place rather than the plugin? No idea.

Can you put a PNG or JPG file the same folder and do they open?

February 6, 2011

Ok, here goes nothing :Xemote:

So after finding Pinta's OraFormat.cs and pitching it at others here, null54 came to the rescue and fixed everything. And shrike asking to publish it, here's my attempt.

Thanks go to Maia Kozheva and null54. :mtdew:

New 4.1.5 version for 2019 with blend mode change

Download

So there it is, hope it works and.... something.

Read the bit at the end titled Rotate.

December 7, 2010

According to Wikipedia, at least 6 programs have support for it. So maybe it might reach some level of usage. And it seems to have potential for growth.

With null54's code, I got it to work


// myLayer.Opacity = ((byte)(255.0 * double.Parse(GetAttribute(layerElement, "opacity", "1"))));

myLayer.Opacity = ((byte)(255.0 * double.Parse(GetAttribute(layerElement, "opacity", "1"), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)));

and


// writer.WriteAttributeString("opacity", string.Format("{0:0.00}", (double)(layers.GetAt(i).Opacity) / 255.0)); // byte to double? wtf am I doing... O_o

writer.WriteAttributeString("opacity", ((double)(layers.GetAt(i).Opacity / 255.0)).Clamp(0.0, 1.0).ToString("N2", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)); // this is even more bizarre

were the only changes required. The first fix made loading a file possible and the second change (it looks insane ) fixed saving because it was doing '1,00' on my computer instead of 1.00

So thanks goes to null54 :mtdew: and :pizza: for you

So I tried using Pinta's OraFormat.cs to make it use Paint.NET's datatypes and ways... lots of copy paste.

onload atleast is without errors what VS seems to think but ofcourse it doesn't work. OnSave is hopeless. All the commented stuff in OnSave is from OraFormat.cs

So to those who are better at C#, help? I used Simon's template.

Maybe it could be possible for some of our more experienced developers here to try and translate the Pinta implementation of OpenRaster?

https://github.com/j...ts/OraFormat.cs

With an external plugin, any licensing would be free choice to the dev?

I gave it an attempt myself... but with no PDN experience(and equally little C# experience) all I could hope is get no errors from Visual Studio with regards to proper datatypes and stuff with OnLoad, OnSave was way more complicated. And even then it didn't work

Maybe I could put my miserable attempt in the plugin dev central and someone(s) could fix it?

Your problem is that you're using a tool for Valve Hammer, which is used for creating game mods for Half-Life.

You need ResGen.exe from Microsoft which is from the .NET Framework, which you can get simply by downloading any of the Windows/.NET SDKs.

I attached both resgen and a compiled version of your strings.

May 2, 2010

*blush* :red: me, an experienced translator? :red:

From my point of view, it would be best for something like this:

Plugin authors would use the internal localization in some way, such as when setting the dialog texts, use whatever method is used to get a string from PdN and supply the method with a default string if the string isn't found in Strings.xx.resources.

That way even if the xml entries don't exist in the resources it would use the default english that's in the code?
Then the plugin author would list a set of strings in a <code> bit at the end of the topic posting the plugin. Stuff like Madjik.Effect1.VarA or BoltBait.EffectC.VarX and so on.
Then I could just copy paste the xml into my own Strings.xx.resx and translate there.

The plugin author would just have to use the internal resource manager and all the translators are left to choose which plugins to translate.

Having to work with the plugin author to translate and creating multiple versions sounds insane and prone to errors and any changes to translations would create a logistics nightmare.

Leaving the translation to me and my own Strings.xx.resx is in my opinion the best solution.

EXIF.org - EXIF and related resources - Specificications check EXIF 2.1 and search for the Software tag.

If you were observant enough to check that specific tag, you would see that it only supports plain ASCII. It doesn't support any other character set or UTF-8 so the bit of russian text will always appear as question marks.

So there is no way to work around it afaics.

Pasting seems working quite odd.

Pasting from Opera an image with transparency -> transparency is black.

Pasting from Irfanview an image with transparency -> transparency is black.

Opening those images directly, just fine.

April 13, 2010

How would this new version affect translations made out of the help?

Could I do the same as before and just brutally copy text/images and translate them?

and rewrite it to be valid html and to use css

February 8, 2010

So, as far as I can see, each string contain in average 3 words, which makes us approximately 3,5K words.

Quick check of the english resx, Notepad++ counted 5987 words. After stripping the xml tags away.

Now can I ask you where I can find the help files? I suppose they are in .html format?

One easy way to get the help files is to get WinHTTrack and have it spider through http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/ to some folder. It'll get all the html files and images easily.

The word count on the help files is a whole matter on its own.

Edit: Quick check of my .fi help files and I got about 14k words there. No idea on the english ones.

Screengrab

Wouldn't something like this work better?

January 25, 2010

Repros here, opened a file, Save As..., selected a different file, then the original and changed filetype to png.

Clicking save causes a dialog saying that the original file exists.

Win7 x64 and PDN 3.5.2

Odd rounding when there shouldn't be any rounding?

I was updating some of the help images and just doing misc stuff, then I chose rectangle select, fixed size and switched the inches to pixels and got weird results.

The resolution was the standard 96px/inch and somehow the default 4 and 3 inches measurement ended up being 383.9976 pixels and 287.9972 pixels.

Can't repro it now, but I'll try to keep a look out for it if it happens again.

Edit: This is on Windows 7 Pro x64.

Edit2: Opened those pics again and this time the result was 383.944 and 287.958.

It's not that big of a problem but still odd?

December 9, 2009

Get yourself a computer with x64 Windows.

I easily created a 2800x60000 picture and was able to even create a layer on it. This is x64 7 with 4GB ram.

Operations do take quite a bit of time :roll: even drawing a line takes several seconds....
