Your loop is only reading pixels from x = 0 to x = rect.Width - 1 and y = 0 to y = rect.Height - 1 (substitute the inner loop bounds and you'll see that x0 and y0 cancel). Since rect is just an arbitrary rectangle PDN uses to divide up the image*, I think you need to revisit what your loop bounds should be.

* i.e. your program should work the same if all the rectangles were 1 x 1 or if there were only one rectangle representing the whole image.

I like this idea. There could even be a little text file saying something like "Copy effect DLLs here."

I'd love to see someone use this as a key component in some awesome piece of art.

Repro steps:

[*:3uo9930v]Make a large image (I used 2000x2000)
[*:3uo9930v]Zoom in as far as possible (should be 1638%)
[*:3uo9930v]Make a rectangle or ellipse selection on the right or bottom side of the image, moving the mouse past the edge before letting go.
[*:3uo9930v]Move the mouse back in and drag around. The selection should continue to resize. Try to cancel by pressing escape or right clicking, neither of which work.

PNG should not lose quality as long as you select the "Auto-detect" option.

Crash log for ya. It happened while smudging; other than that, I have no clue how to reproduce this.

Thanks, I've added in your patch. I'm leaving the command prompt window as is since it is the only source of information on the progress of the optimization. I've also updated to OptiPNG 0.62.

November 27, 2008

PaintDotNet.WorkerThreadException: Worker thread threw an exception ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: WriteFile() returned false (112, ERROR_DISK_FULL)

Looks like your hard disk is full. (Paint.NET uses your hard disk to store undo information.)

October 31, 2008

It looks like you clicked the link to OptiPNG itself instead of the attachment for my plugin a few lines down.

October 24, 2008

Yes, it's safe. In fact, that's what I'm going to do right now. Thanks for notifying me of the update.

October 21, 2008

Found the problem.

It's caused by any filetype plugin that was compiled prior to 3.05 and still references the old DLL. As a workaround, you can temporarily remove those plugins (or all of them if you're not sure which) and run layer saver.

I'll try to get a fix up shortly.

October 20, 2008

That's strange. It's trying to find PdnLib.dll, which was changed to PaintDotNet.Core.dll in version 3.05. That version was released ages before this program was created. I really have no clue why it wants the old version of the DLL.

This is the relevant code:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += delegate(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args) {
   string name = args.Name.Substring(0, args.Name.IndexOf(','));
   try {
       string dir = (string)Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE").OpenSubKey("Paint.NET").GetValue("TARGETDIR");
       return Assembly.LoadFrom(Path.Combine(dir, name + ".dll"));  <--------------------------- Error here

May or may not work:

Try moving layer saver to your paint.net directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Paint.NET, not FileTypes or Effects).

October 13, 2008

It looks like you're using the nearest neighbor resizing algorithm. Make sure "Resampling" is set to "Best Quality" in the Resize dialog.

September 29, 2008

The download is most likely corrupt. Redownloading should fix it.

Also, please take a look at the rules and edit your title to something more descriptive (like the error message you got).

August 24, 2008

I like what Simon suggested, but I think it should be simpler: allow us to have multiple windows by opening PDN multiple times.

August 12, 2008

So I guess I'll never know why...unless there is some way to get a debug version of Paint.NET

Try copying PDN's file type code and executing that by itself.

July 22, 2008

In C:\Program Files\Paint.NET there are a bunch of .resources files that Paint.NET uses for localization. Copy PaintDotNet.Strings.3.resources to the bin/Debug directory in your project folder.

July 22, 2008

Copy PaintDotNet.Strings.3.resources to your bin directory. It looks like you're trying to debug your plugin by running it as an exe.

July 19, 2008

What operating system are you using that doesn't already have the 2.0 .NET Framework installed?

I'm pretty sure XP includes .NET 1.1, but not 2.0.

Alexandrina: The 100 MB thing is the redistributable package and is not intended for average consumers. I think Windows Update has a smaller version of .NET in the optional section. If not, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en. It's a smaller package that only downloads what you need.

July 18, 2008

I'm pretty sure there aren't any critical bugs, but for some reason .NET's textboxes don't like long text and give me horrible performance. Until I stumble across a solution or .NET gets fixed, this will stay in beta.

July 16, 2008

SetRenderInfo(blurToken, scratchArgs, dstArgs);

You said you need to blur from the scratch to the destination. The pattern for SetRenderInfo is (EffectConfigToken parameters, RenderArgs dstArgs, RenderArgs srcArgs), so you're passing the destination as the source and the scratch as the destination. Thus, what you rendered to the scratch is overwritten.

July 14, 2008

About IndirectUI: You can use a textbox (which codelab supports) or a combobox populated with a list of fonts at runtime (which codelab does not support).

Tip for reducing duplicate code: You may want to consider putting all the fonts in a string[] (lets call it fonts) and then use fonts[Amount3] instead of all the switches.

July 10, 2008

A software interface should never change depending on wich OS or theme you're using.

Actually the vast majority of software tries to respect the user's theme settings in order to blend in better. For example, one of Firefox 3's major goals was for it to change its look depending on the OS it ran on. Imagine if you chose XP's olive color and Paint.NET forced everything to be blue. In my opinion, it makes perfect sense for Paint.NET to match the color settings you yourself set.
