    just tried ... and the first photo it works fine,

    but doesn't make a new palette for next the photos i open.

    it will work if i restart paint.net.

     

    This plugin was poorly designed, and looks very hacky.

    As far as I can tell, it's not using the EffectConfigDialog properly (or at all).

    Its dialog pops up after the Initializing dialog. Madness. <---- That explains why the plugin doesn't work a second time.

     

    Also, in relation to the crash log that pdnnoob posted:

    Storing user data (Palette location) in 'Program Files' was a poor design choice too. That XML file should be in %appdata%. That way multiple user accounts on the same machine can use the plugin.

     

    I don't want it to sound like I'm hating on this plugin or jxp. It does indeed do what it's meant to, it was just implemented in a non-optimal way.

  2. Here's another teaser image of something I got working tonight (still a work-in-progress). The screenshot below is a composite, but is otherwise genuine.

    I jimmy rigged the existing IntelliSense stuff so it could used to display tooltips.

    Along the way, I fixed the longstanding bug where the IntelliSense Box wouldn't open in some circumstances. (e.g. when there were parentheses, or there was an Operator with no space after it, ect.)  The IntelliSense Tooltips necessitated that fix. :)

    You're saying you can use them to affect P.n's default behaviours?

    No, you misunderstood what BoltBait said. What he was saying is that you could modify a plugin so that it (that specific plugin, and that specific plugin only) opens its dialog in a different location.

     

    For clarification, plugins can only add FileTypes, and modify pixels on the canvas/selection. No changing the behavior of paint.net.
