AndrewDavid Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The list of plug-ins in this menu is getting enormous. My suggestion would be to allow the mouse wheel to become active when X (30?) amount of items appear on the menu.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Cull some of the less used plugins. Really. Having loads of plugins slows start up significantly. You might also have noticed that the lowest entry might not be click-able due to the tool tip pulsing on and off? The menus are part of WinForms. Rick is loathe to fiddle with these.

AndrewDavid Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 I understand. Ill try to weed out the ones I don't need - don't want offend any authors though. Win10 and your app have come a long way since some of these plug-ins were written. Quote (My New Signature) Nickpic was a image hosting source made specifically for RPers and its shutting down.

BoltBait Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 You are unlikely to offend any of the plugin authors. Every plugin is different and are suited to different artistic styles. That's why my plugin installer allows you to select only the plugins you need. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Try this: If you can't recall what the plugin UI looks like - you don't need it loaded every time paint.net starts. Once identified, move the target DLL into a different folder (named something like "Unloaded Plugins"). If you find yourself needing that plugin, just move it back into /Effects/ and restart paint.net.

AndrewDavid Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) We think alike Ego - Just what I plan to do - speed is not an issue loading Paint - but 200 plug-ins sounds like a good number to stick to. And lets not forget the ones I don't know how to use. . After some thought and installing EDHarvey-Effects 4.0.5120 (1 DLL) that gave me 28 effects - the real issue might be the way Plug-in browser is reporting the numbers. It wants to count effects as Plugins. Can be confusing to a new user. I treat them differently. If 1 Plug-in gives me 28 effects - It's still 1 plug-in. To remove one effect of EdHarvey's - I have to remove all of his. And yes I know his is unique.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 200 sounds a lot to me Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Considering there are over 900 - It is small Quote (My New Signature) Nickpic was a image hosting source made specifically for RPers and its shutting down.

It wants to count effects as Plugins. Can be confusing to a new user. I treat them differently. If 1 Plug-in gives me 28 effects - It's still 1 plug-in. Sure, if you want to nitpick. What is a plugin? Is it the actual DLL file, or is it the effect contained within? I think most people would consider a plugin to be the effect contained in the DLL file. If a DLL file contains 28 effects, then the DLL file provides 28 plugins. My 2 cents. Also, giving a count of the number of DLL files doesn't seem like it would be useful information. To avoid this possible confusion, we could disambiguate the count in a future release.
