    'Portable Document Format' FileType Plugin (.PDF)

    in FileType Plugins

    Posted

    Sasha, I didn't ask you about ImSVG. I just told that in MY case there is an issue with ImSVG and not with InPDF.

    I asked for a screenshot because a dialog is more than just text content. If you are more techi experienced you can get more information out of a picture.

    I would expect that in your case it is enough to disable the Open one in the moment.. But I have no idea how CBM enumerates the filetypes. And if Simon is active then there is no reason to reassemble CBM.

    I am not tech experienced and I cant take a screenshot if pdn crashes before I have the chance to press Prt Scr. All I can report is both save and import pdf file types will crash pdn when I use CBM. I have (sadly) had to remove your file type plugin, because I use CBM more than pdf.  I also installed the ghostscript and followed all the instructions on page #1 of this thread. As I said, this crash problem has only happened since in upgraded to pdn V4.

    I can't be the only person having this issue with ImPDF and Custom brushes. :/

    I was playing with 4.0.  It took a bit of experimenting, but here's what I arrived at.

     

    1.  File->New

    2.  Set color wheel primary and secondary to transparent, ZERO OPACITY.  IMPORTANT!

    3.  Set Image Width 1 pixel.  Height what you want. When you leave width, the background shrinks to a line.

    4.  Set Image Width to what you want.  You now notice you have a transparent background.

    5.  Create your signature or logo using whatever satisfies you.

    6.  Save to a location you'll remember.  You'll use this over and over.

    7.  With a clean Paint.NET, open your new signature file.

    8.  Move your signature from upper left to where you want it.

    9.  Layers->Import From File.  Bring in your photo to be signed.

    10.  Layers->Properties, Mode->Overlay.  OK.

    -done-

     

    Once 1-6 are done, you need do only 7-10 each time.  AND, there's nothing to say you can't have multiple signature files.

    Oh yes, from back in "the day" of MS-DOS, to get the © symbol, ensure NumLock is on, hold down ALT, and, on your numeric keypad, type 0169, then release ALT.  Then, press NumLock again to get your arrow keys back.

     

    Enjoy.

    For step #2 you could click on either of these tools   :MoveTool:  or    :MagicWandTool:  then hit Delete on your keyboard ;) Also at step #6 remember to save it as a .png to remain transparency.

    Open the above image in pdn, then run grim colour reaper http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=15595 to remove the white background, resize and save as a .png and use with Custom Brushes Mini (Part of this pack) http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/15218-simon-bs-plugin-pack-custom-brushes-editable-text-and-more-2014-06-22/  The Hammer you would have to create on your own ;)

     

    Cool Splatter by the way :)

    But if you can read it, you should also be able to take a screenshot of the dialog.

    The dialog is here.

     

    Error:

    Exception details:
    System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'ImPDFPlugin.ImPDFFileType' threw an exception. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
       at ImPDFPlugin.ImPDFFileType..cctor()
       --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
       at ImPDFPlugin.ImPDFFileType.Debug(String message)
       at ImPDFPlugin.ImPDFSaveConfigWidget.Finalize()
     
    I made sure I downloaded all the latest plugins (both file type and effects) when I upgraded to V4. I also have the most recent CBM from Simon Brown installed.
     
    I also had both recent versions of the pdf file type plugin's installed.   I really can't answer about an ImSVG or .svg file because I do not know what an svg is. :(

    No issue to bump after a while. It just means you are interested.

     

    I installed the current PDN4 version of the SB pack in the meantime. And I can reproduce that there is an issue. In my case a reference exception but from ImSVG filetype. After confirming the message the ImSVG open dialog opens. After aborting the OnLoad action of ImSVG CBM worked as expected.

     

    I really have not a good idea what CBM is trying to do there. Maybe it tries to collect all available filetype plugins. Only SB can answer this.

     

    Maybe post a screenshot of the exception to see if its a PDN one or one of the plugin.

    I posted the exception information @ post #35 here. All my brushes are .png (I have no Idea what an SVG is anyway) I didn't get the chance to take a screenshot. pdn 4.0 crashed, so when I read the above posted exception details and noticed it was in conflict with this file type plugin, I then removed your file type plugin from pdn Custom brushes then works fine.

    CBM uses the filetype plugins installed to load brushes.

    But when I have the pdf file type plugin installed, paint.net crashes when I open CBM, I remove the file type plugin and CBM works. All of my custom brushes are of .png file format and are stored in Documents / Paint.Net User Files / Custom Brushes.  I never had this issue with pdn 3.5.11.

    Sorry to "Bump" up this thread, but I posted above here, relating to a conflict between this file type plugin and Custom brushes mini. Upon removal of this file type plugin, Custom brushes worked again, but if I re install this file type plugin in custom brushes won't work (PDN V4) The Dev has been online since I posted and so far no feedback.

    Will this issue be fixed please. :)

    paint.net 4.0 is now available!

    Just had another try with Curtis`s plugin pack and this time Rounded Rectangle seems to be working fine and Effects Lab is now listed although I have not tried it out.

    Just like you minty Blur Map, Displacement Map, Channel Mask and Equations do not work although as I don`t recall ever using them I am not too bothered. The main thing I wanted was RR .

    I just re installed the curtis black plugins and although I have a load error of CurtisBlack.Common.dll I do have effects lab back and working :)

    I have downloaded the latest version of pdn and to avoid freeze ups from plugins I deleted all of them from 4,0's effects folder and I'm downloading them all new with just the compatible ones. I have quite a few installed that are compatible so far. I was looking for that list you started of the compatible or non-compatible plugins and can't find it. Could you please steer me in the right direction?

    Here it is :) http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/27661-incompatible-plugins-an-incomplete-list-updated-for-405268/

    In PDN V4 (build 5284) I opened Custom Brushes mini and got this error message concerning ImPDF. Any idea why it would give me this error ? Custom Brushes mini opens now that I have removed this file type plug in.

    Error:

    Exception details:
    System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'ImPDFPlugin.ImPDFFileType' threw an exception. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Thank you.

    Custom Brushes mini not working on build 5284. It threw up this error about IMPDF File type even though I tried to open custom brush mini :/
