lynxster4 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 FYI @toe_head2001 The installer does not run for me, even if I run as administrator. It simply won't open. In the download .zip version, it is still version 1.7.0.1. Can you update the zip to v1.7.0.2 please? Thank you!

I concur - it didn't work for me either. I had to download the 2nd Zip, which gives the .dll, but had to also edit the download - to add .Zip to open it 😀 All is working fine now Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

lynxster4 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Be aware @Pixey that the .dll in the zip file is not version 1.7.0.2. It is version 1.7.0.1. Right-click the .dll and click on Properties, then go the Details tab. It tells you what version it is.

AndrewDavid Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Ladies - run the app and you should see the 1.7.0.2 in the toolbar. Installer worked for me after getting through all the protection levels on my machine. Coding has shown me there are a few areas that you need to update to show the 1.7.0.2 everywhere.

lynxster4 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) That's a bit crazy. I finally got the installer to run after I gave it permission to share with myself! And the Advanced Menu was still showing it as version 1.7.0.1, but when I opened the plugin as @AndrewDavid suggested, it lists it as v1.7.0.2. So, I guess all is well. It might be the same with the .zip file. I did not open the plugin. 😆 FYI: Just verified that the .zip file contains version 1.7.0.2 also Edited October 3, 2021 by lynxster4 added FYI Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tum Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I'm having issues getting the plugin to appear at all after installing. I've been using paint.net for years but this is my first attempt to use any sort of plugins. After installing the latest version of the DLL file and restarting the program (also tried a reboot of the whole PC), no 'advanced' tab appears under effects and my plugins menu is empty in the program settings. Does anybody know what I need to do get ShapeMaker working on my computer? Running 4.3.3 on Windows 10, if that's relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no Effects folder at that directory, so I made one and pasted them in there. It worked like a charm! Thanks for the help, looking forward to using it.

Pixey Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hello @Silvra13 and welcome to the forum That's looks very odd. I have tried mine and it's working fine. Can you 'Maximize it' - little square box top right side of the Plugin, and see if that helps.

toe_head2001 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Okay, this is the HiDPI bug in .NET 6 that also affected the Quad Correction plugin. Easy to fix.

toe_head2001 Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 I've decided I will not be releasing any updates for ShapeMaker until after the next release of paint.net (v4.3.8). In the meantime, you'll need to use ShapeMaker at 100% DPI scaling. Sorry for the inconvenience. 1 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

lynxster4 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hi @toe_head2001. I need to report an error message in ShapeMaker plugin. I am now getting this when I save the completed shape to a .dhp file. This happens in the stable build Rick just released, 4.3.8, and also happened in the beta version. Version 4.3.7 saved the .dhp file just fine. You can still export the file as .xaml and it works, but you cannot save to .dhp, which I always do in case I need to make some adjustments. Hope this can be fixed. Thank you!
