[pyrochild plugins (2020-11-21)]

If you have a 64-bit operating system, Paint.NET should be installed in Program Files, not Program Files (x86). Some buggy plugin installers may incorrectly assume that Paint.NET is in this folder, but you need to put the plugins where Paint.NET is actually installed.

The easiest way to find out is to right-click the Paint.NET icon on your desktop and then click "Open file location."

I uninstalled Paint.net and did a complete reinstall using "custom install" and now the plugins work. The default directory was the correct "programs" directory. I have no idea why it was originally installed in Programs (x86). I know I didn't put it there.

I have downloaded the latest pyrochild plugins from the beginning of this thread. I have Windows 7 x64 and Paint.net was installed in Programs (x86). I also have Paint.NET v3.5.6 (Final Release build 3.56.3972.42619) installed.

I unzipped the plugin file and copied all .dll files into the "effects" folder. I have rebooted the computer and restarted Paint.net. My problem is that i can't find where the plugins are located. There is no "tools" submenu under "effects".

What am I doing wrong?

thanks
