How are plugins installed?


Recommended Posts

Hello every body i'm new to paint.net and i've been trying to follow some tut's posted here on

the forum and ive noticed that a lot of these tut's require you to have additional plugins?

i've tried to download a few but i cant just figure out how to get them to be active on my program.. so if anyone could simply explain to me how to get and apply the plugins i would be very very greatful.. :lol:

thanks,

JMan

The quick explanation (who knows, maybe some people who come here are too lazy to follow the link)

Copy or move the DLL into C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects if it's an effect, or C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\FileTypes if it's a filetype plugin (fairly obvious)

I would write plugins, if I knew what kind of plugins were needed.. :(

oh well sorry that i'm not exactly the paint.net proffesional.. i'm new to the program and just asked a question so the (fairly obvious) comment is non necesse est.

I meant to refer to the difference between the paths (FileType plugins go to FileTypes, Effect plugins go to Effects)
