It would be nice if we can have dockable toolbars to free up some screen space. Perhaps even use of right click context menus to popup color selection, etc. Also, I wonder if ICC profiling could be implemented

Hi I am having some problems with this builtin tool. I created 3 rectangle solid shapes and colored then each of a single color - red green blue. Then I tried to change the green rectangle to yellow by selecting the primary color (color dialog) to yellow and the secondary color to green. But nothing happens. Should there be another btn to click - ie meaning "change the color NOW" after I've done the color selection above?. I also tried holding the CTRL and left and the right mouse BTN but same thing - nothing happens. Also reversed the primary/secondary color - nothing happens. Am using PDN v2.70. Thanks

I just discovered that ther is no options setting available. I was looking to configure my mouse roller button to zoomin/zoomout but I can't. Is there a shortcut/hack avail? I find it extremely tiring to move up to the menu to zoomin / out.

@evanolds Yhanks for assistance. I *found* the problem. The plugin src code is OK. The problem lies in the references to the PDNxxx.dll libs which is found in c:\Programs Files\Paint.Net So in future if anyone has compile problems do the following:- 1. Load your .slnproject 2. Project->References->add Reference->Browse then select the folder where you installed Paint.NET and click the pdnlib.dll and PaintDotNet.Data.dll. These are the 2 generally used. But if you are using effects you should also linkup PaintDotNet.Effects.dll. TO be safe I link all the DLLs in PaintDotNet. You need to do this because every developer has his/her own folder locations. For example, the photoshop plugin request you to add the 2 PDN dll into a subfolder......but if you do the above, then you do not have to worry about future/other plugins 'cos you may end up with a few versions of PDN DLLs in every plugin. So now all I have to do is edit the project and add the DLL reference and everything will be ok. I just recently installed the 2.70 version and automatically I have the new DLLs in place. 3. Many pluginswill NOT run off the hat. You must do the above. Now all the plugins I downloaded compiles ok. Thanks evanolds for plugin.

Hi evanolds Plugin works fine. thanks. I am trying to learn to write a simple plugin for PDN. I tried your source code and is unable to compile it - it complains something about "EffectsDialog..." and "Effects". Anything I need to fix at this end? I tried compiling the Photoshop PDS file plugin and it works ok. In that plugin it says to copy the 2 PDN...dll to a subfolder in the project in order to compile. Does your proj requires the same? I also tried to add folder/reference of PDN's dll to the project - still gives compile errors. Any help is much appreciated. (I am trying to understand the API calls 'cos I want to have a go at writing simple plugins myself). Thanks
