ig9000 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I got a new computer so I decided to be nice and purchase the Windows Store version. However, when I am installing plugins I am running into a problem on one specific plugin (YES, I did read the instructions and YES I am using the Documents\paint.net App Files\ location). The "'PostScript' FileType Plugin" requires two files to be placed in the \FileTypes\ folder (fine), but it also requires two files to be placed in the paint.net\ root folder. This is the specific instruction from the plugin's readme file: "Copy the two files OptionBasedLibrary vX.X.dll/.dlc to the Paint.NET\ folder (NOT to Paint.NET\FileTypes\ !!!)" But on the Windows Store version I am not sure where I can place the files. I attempted to place the files in the Documents\Paint.net App Files\ folder, but it does not seem to be working and the plugin error reports the system cannot file the file specified. Is there a way to make this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Forget what the instructions say, just place all four files in the FileTypes folder. 2 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Rick Brewster Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Do not put files into the "root" installation folder. That is the wrong way to do things. Those instructions are wrong. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The Plugin Index states the incorrect placement of DLLs in a number of places (I followed the plugin author's instructions). I've flagged this issue to be corrected in the next release. 1 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...
ig9000 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Putting all of the files in \filetypes\ seems to have worked fine. Thanks for the replies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
