The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait

what gives

 

That video was made for a very old version of Paint.NET, the DDS plugin that it used was replaced with this one in Paint.NET 4.2.2.

Not all of the settings shown in the old plugin are present in this plugin, the two plugin use different code for DXT compression and mipmap resizing.

Mapping the common options shown in your screenshot:

 

DXT5 (Interpolated Alpha) is the same as BC3 (Linear, DXT5).

The Error Metric section should be identical between the two plugins.

The SuperSampling resampling mode has been replaced by Cubic.

I am working with texture in .btx file compressed in bc7, is there any way to work with this file in paint.net?

 

You would need to use another tool to convert the .btx files to DDS before loading them into Paint.NET.

There currently is no easy way to support multiple layers in this plugin.

I plan to eventually support loading mipmaps and cube maps as layers, once the Paint.NET plugin API adds the features that I need for it.

Hi, I was wondering if the Paint.NET plugin API has received support for having plugins create their own layers recently.

No, it has not yet received the features I need.

FileType plugins have always been able to read/create multiple layers. What other functionality are you waiting on?

The ability to configure the save UI based on the document.

Release version 1.12.9, which adds support for reading files that have fewer mipmaps than the header specifies.
