Technically, you had to move your mouse over the left-hand ListBox to trigger the crash. Oh wow, that was silly of me. I was using an index in the line just before its bounds check. Fixed.

mackenzieh 19 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Every time I click to use the plug in browser, I'm hit with "A newer Plugin Index available. Download?" I click yes, and nothing happens. The version I'm using is 1.2.1.0 on windows 10 64bit. Is there a newer version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(zip installer) That's unfortunate. But since there's nothing I can do about it, I don't really care. People can use the non-installer if they trust Defender more than me. I won't hurt my feelings. Having said that, Defender is not reporting anything here on my end. As of right now, the definition version in Defender is 1.271.665.0. Please ensure you are up-to-date. VirusTotal also reports it's completely clean. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to post Share on other sites
qu1ck 1 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Downloading plugin index still doesn't work. Fresh install of latest paint.net, no other plugins. It prompted for download, I clicked yes and nothing happened. No errors, no new plugins in the list aside from built in ones. Where is the plugin data saved? How can I trigger re download? I suspect the reason could be because I have Paint.NET installed in program files, which needs admin access for write. If plugin is trying to save index in the effects folder it won't work unless Paint.NET is started with admin rights. Edit: also are older versions available somewhere? Is source open?

qu1ck 1 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I see. I guess my expectations were mismatched based on experience with plugin browsers in any other software. It's a shame that this one has such a limited functionality. Would be great to be able to install plugins directly from the browser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ego Eram Reputo 2,756 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 It's free. Use it or don't. If you're going to drop acidic comments like "such a limited functionality" into the conversation I suspect you're better just uninstalling it. You're completely free to write your own Plugin Browser if you like.

qu1ck 1 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I appreciate the effort you and others have put into it and I didn't mean my comments to be acidic, I apologize if they came out wrong. But it does lack one of the main features of plugin browsers when compared to other software. Please treat my previous post as a humble request for a feature. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(although, that's reason enough) In theory, it would be fairly easy to grope a forum page for the ZIP attachment, download it, unzip it, and copy the DLL file(s) to the Effects folder. It wouldn't be as seamless as you might think though. Because you're copying into Program Files, you'd have to deal with UAC (most people have it turned on). So, launching paint.net as Administrator. And you wouldn't even be able to use the plugins immediately; you'd still need to restart Paint.NET. So, trying to auto installing plugins is not worth it.

ArgusMagnus 28 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) It would certainly be worth it. The plugin in the developer section I linked to is fully functional (at least it was at the time) and does exactly that (by lauchning a separate process which requests elevated access to install). In fact, the installation process (copying files, restarting Paint.net) is fairly simple, the hard part is to correctly resolve dependencies and conflicts.

Would I, personally, want it? Yes. If you remember, I argued in favor of your plugin. However, it still can't happen, so we are not going to put in the effort to code this functionality. Thus, "not worth it". Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to post Share on other sites
toe_head2001 1,791 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Version 1.3 posted. Effect rending is now done properly; within The Plugin Browser's Render() override. This resolves several longstanding issues: - Clicking on an effect's OK button prematurely no longer breaks its rendering. - Rendering progress is now reported in the status bar - Rendering progress can now be seen on the canvas itself - "Repeat Effect" (Ctlr-F) now works on The Plugin Browser 1 2 Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to post Share on other sites
Panchdara 6 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Hi TH... am I getting confused? When I fire up the Browser I get a list of effects in left pane (column). Fine. When I select the Author I see an alphabetical list of effects. When I select Alphabetical I get a list of Authors and NO effects for any of the Authors. See link. http://www.panchdara.com/Images/PDN-Browser.wmv I am confused. Best Edited August 23, 2018 by Panchdara Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much of the code was refactored, so that's how a simple bug like this got introduced. Thanks for reporting. I'm surprised that went unnoticed for more than two weeks. I'll post a fixed release in the coming day. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to post Share on other sites

Passionfly 0 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 This app/plug-in is extremely infuriating to install or get started with. These are the things that wrong with your program: 1) No description on forum how to install it 2) No description in the downloadable guide how to install it (the zip file has the word install in it which I missed but the actual installer should be called "PluginBrowser Install.exe" so we know to actually click on it and not just put it into the effects folder.) 2) No description in this forum how to start it from inside Paint.net 4) No description in the downloadable guide how to start it from Paint.net Am I missing something? I tried all the pull-down menus. Searched the effects menus. Is there a new toolbar? Is it a new addition under the tools? The help? I am sure its a fantastic program but after 30 minutes wasting time trying to figure this out I give up. If you can't install and run it smoothly then whats the difference how good the software is?
