  1. The Alpha Mask plugin treats transparency like white. So, if your clipboard contains your layer of a white object (your outline) on a transparent background then the plugin understands that you want to keep all the layer and discard nothing.

     

    The way around this is to insert a black layer below your white outline layer and merge them together (remember to change the white layer properties to normal before merging).

    Then copy the merged layer to your clipboard and use the Alpha Mask plugin with "Paste from Clipboard" ticked.

    Fixed broken links

    No big deal but that (and the deletion of Maximilian's link) came after my report.

     

    EDIT: ... or maybe not.

  3. The plugin that I have uploaded, the one released by @Martin Osieka on 8 July 2015, is v1.0, not v0.2

    There's 3 files in the zip that Martin uploaded. The third one is the "read me" file.

     

    I tried to upload to MEGA and RapidFire but both now require to register an account even for a temporary file upload, which I find too much trouble for one plugin. I don't know why Firefox and Chrome don't like it while the Edge browser downloads the zip without any problem. Perhaps one of the other mods can download the plugin v1.0 using Edge and attach it to the first post.

     

    I am not going to delete the file after all because I have noticed that it has already been downloaded 22 times so far. So some people need it.

    BUT, my question regarding the deletion of member uploads still remains. @Pixey when I go to my "my attachments", I do not have an option to edit or delete. I see nothing like your screenshot. Perhaps mods have options us commoners don't? I have no immediate need for it, but it would be nice to know how, for future reference.

  4. I tried to download it myself with Firefox and it wouldn't download. I got a warning that "this file contains a virus or malware".

    I checked the zipped file I uploaded with AVG and it shows clean. I checked again the three unzipped files and AVG insists that all is well.

     

    I then tried downloading using Edge and I the zip downloaded fine without any warnings. I checked again the downloaded zip file and the unzipped contents with AVG and they came out clean.

     

    Perhaps try again @Pixey with a different browser? 

     

    BTW, my first instinct was to delete the uploaded zip and upload it again, but I couldn't figure out how to delete a file under "My attachments". Any ideas?

  5. A very useful plugin. I didn't know how much I needed this before you thought and implemented it, MadJik! 

     

    I only keep in the normal "Palettes" folder the two or three palettes I use most often. I have another folder where I keep all palettes that I use occasionally to rarely. So, you can see how useful it would be for me to identify and choose a palette I need if your plugin allowed the user to define the path for the palettes to be drawn.

    If it's too much trouble, please forget I asked; your plugin is very useful as it is.

    hey guys, i'm looking for a very simple plugin & i'm sure it already exists, i just can't find it.

    all i want is a plugin that will change an entire layer's colour to a hex/rgb code that i can input. i don't want any info on the colour changer tool or using the fill bucket, for clarification; i want a plugin that will allow me to put in a hex/rgb code and when applied will change the entire layer to said colour (other than transparent areas, obviously). thanks in advance!

    People are always searching for a way to outline text and also to draw gradient filled text.  Now, they can get it from you.

     

    and that:

    Yes, it is working OK now. Thanks BoltBait.

     

    ... would it be too much to ask for a .dll to be released for the code-handicapped masses?

  8. Impressive MadJik, but way too complicated.

    I remember how I tested years ago, something like: 

    - Draw an object on a transparent layer, duplicate the layer.

    - Rotate the duplicated layer 3 or 4 times, anticlockwise. Make sure the sum of the rotations is larger than 360 Degrees.

    - Rotate the same layer clockwise (negative degrees) as much as the sum of the anticlockwise rotation was over 360.

    - The object on the duplicated layer exactly overlaps the object on the original layer. QED.

  9. A workaround for plugin installers that do not work with the Windows Store version is:

     

    1. (If they do not already exist) Create two folders, one named "Effects" and one named "FileTypes", in the main "paint.net" folder, usually like "C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects" and  "C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes". 

    2. Download and run the plugin installer.

    3. Follow the instructions in the second yellow "Note" at https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html 

    4. Cut and paste the files installed in the folders in step 1 into the folders created in step 3.

  10. Thank you xod for an excellent plugin. I agree with EER and MJW that you should release it in the plugin forum with it's own topic.

    I also agree with MJW regarding placing the plugin in a submenu. It is not "absolutely necessary" like you say, it's just better housekeeping IMO. I'll let you keep your own copy in the parent Effect menu because I like you  :)

    Today after a long time two new shapes: the famous car "Trabant 601S" (side and front view) from former German Democratic Republic (GDR) - eastern Germany.

    ...

    Thank you, this brings back a lot of childhood memories for me. Our family car when I was a young child was a DKW. Basically the same car, only renamed for selling in the west.
