That will probably just waste time - maybe you should ask the developers to make it a menu option. And why is it a problem - you only have to install it once and if you upgrade the path in the registry will still point to that program - broken link or not.

Why would it not?

What if they don't enter you?

In a future version - why not make languages load as dependancies like plugins - rather than compiled into the main assembly? Isn't that more logical?

I second that.

I'm looking forward to seeing the entries - but i'm not good enough to enter.

Right-click on a GIF, select "open with" and then "Choose Program...". Then make sure "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked, scroll down the list, find "Paint.NET" and double click on it. Paint.NET will now be your default GIF editor.

Try cutting and pasting all plugins to another folder and seeing if it works - then moving them back one by one.

Effects? You mean file types? And there are two files: AviFile.dll and AVIImport.dll. Have you removed both?

Not Possible. The API forces me to return a document and I have no access to the old one. Maybe I should get it to load the right frame when the window closes?

Some are the kind that work with the windows avi library (and so my plugin). Some are old format. And some on digital cameras have the extension ".avi" but are really MPEGs.

The video probably isn't a proper AVI file - try another. They are AVI videos. I don't know why it's acting up. Not all videos with the extension .avi are avis - and some are the wrong kind of avi.

The video probably isn't a proper AVI file - try another.

You need to run the installer when Paint.NET isn't running.

Do you think I should write a program to change the settings? P.S. How stupid of me to expect the avrage end user to edit the registry by hand. I think you should have a option to change the default settings. And the regedit methord didn't work for me at all, and I have admin privledges. EDIT: And can we please have the aviimportsettings.txt in the Paint.NET User Files folder? And if the folder isn't there, your plug-in can just create it. I try and make my programs as easy to use as possible so I put it in a place where the user will easily be able to find it.

Works great. Do you think I should write a program to change the settings? P.S. How stupid of me to expect the avrage end user to edit the registry by hand.

How to edit AVIImport settings Requirements: You must be running version 3.4 or later of my plugin and you must have already used that version (so that it can configure itself). 1. When you run AVIImport 2.4 for the first time it will create a configuration file in "My Documents" called "aviimportsettings.txt". So open that now in notepad by Right-Click -> Open-With -> Notepad. 2. The first line is the width (in pixels) of the thumbnail, the default value is 60 and a large the number will bring better quality preview image but it may cause problems with low-spec computers or big videos. 3. The second line is like the first, exept it's the height. 4. The third line is the percentage across for the default position of the frame selector. 5. Now save the file and close notepad. Now when you run AVIImport it will respect your new settings. To revert back to the origional settings - just delete the file and run the plugin.

I'll write a program to do alter the keys.

Why not in the Paint.NET user folder in "My Documents"? What Paint.NET user folder?

If you can't get it to work I may be able to help you.

No, not even Paint.NET.

I have another question - how can you access pixel data when exporting?

Maybe in the next version. But this version lets you change the size so you could fix that.
