Tiled Form - 12/02/2021

[Reptillian]

Update again.

 

In case of either width or height being 0, you can use the other one to define tile width and tile size. Before, it was only width that can be used or it wouldn't work.

 

Not really much of a update as this plugin is complete at this point.

[AndrewDavid]

Lets see if I can shake things up.

[Reptillian]

New Update!

- Slightly more optimized.

- Use NET 5.0

@Reptillian  I replaced the old Gmic Sharp Native Library with the new one you linked to and replaced the TileForm dll and this is what I get:

 

Exception:

GmicSharp.GmicException: Unable to load the gmic-sharp native library from C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects\GmicSharpNative\win-x64\libGmicSharpNative.dll

   at GmicSharpPdn.PdnGmicSharp.RunGmic(String command, Func`1 cancelPollFn)
 

 

I simply replaced the files; I did not move anything. Can you look into this?  Thanks!

This might be due to a bug in Paint.NET which will be fixed in the upcoming release.

 

[Reptillian]

@lynxster4 Okay, I looked, but I can't find why. Maybe it's the version of Paint.NET you're using? I'm running Paint.NET 4.3.2.

@otuncelli Could you confirm @lynxster4report? Anyone else too? Preferably with Paint.NET 4.3.2.

 

Also, calling @null54 as he's the author of the library for a G'MIC-PDN project.

 

EDIT: Hmm, I might have to add deps.json. See if dropping the attached file to the Paint.NET effect folder would make it work though I doubt it. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

I am also running Paint.NET 4.3.2.  I downloaded the additional file and that does not work...same error message.

Do you see the file over here?

 

Try also paint.net App files in Documents. Put the GmicSharpNative folder over there.

[lynxster4]

I don't have that folder. I'm using the Classic version.

The classic version does detect 'paint.net App Files' folders in C:\Users\Documents'. Create it and put it there. I'm also using the classic version as well, not the store version.

The issue appears to be that libGmicSharpNative is dynamically linked to its dependent MinGW DLLs, which are not included in the win-x64 folder.

The previous versions were statically linked to MinGW.

So, adding MingGW dlls file should fix the problem? Okay, I will get to that.

[Reptillian]

@lynxster4 Okay, based on what @null54 has said, I just uploaded the .dll files into the GmicSharpNative. Redownload the zip again, and you'll see new files in it. Maybe it'll work this time.

It is still giving me an error about missing dependencies.

You need to add libdeflate.dll, libjbig-0.dll, libLerc.dll and libwebp-7.dll to the archive.

Ok, I added those as well. Now, I hope everything is all good.

[Panchdara]

For some reason.... I get virus message....??

I got that too, some browsers are showing a false positive for the plugins.

Click the Allow Download button and scan the file with your antivirus software.

[lynxster4]

@Reptillian  This is the error message I am now receiving, after downloading with the additional files:

 

Exception:

GmicSharp.GmicException: *** Error in ./*if/*if/*if/ *** Unknown command or filename 'rep_multicut.'
   at GmicSharp.Interop.GmicNative.HandleError(GmicStatus status, GmicErrorInfo errorInfo)
   at GmicSharp.GmicRunner`1.GmicWorker()

 

Sorry...

No, no, I'm the one that should apologize for the inconvenience, that being said:

 

Well, that only means one more error to resolve since now 1) the gmicsharpnative issue is solved, and 2) I forgot that some people don't have updated update300.gmic file, so to fix it I need to use a merged command. I replaced rep_multicut with gmic_pdn_multicut command which is found at the source code itself. Everything should be solved at this point.

[lynxster4]

It works!!  Thank you!  🤗

 

Question:  If you are going to use a shape via the clipboard, does it matter what color and size it is? Thanks.

Glad to see that!

No, it doesn't matter. It will convert it to black and white. Not binary though, so images with a lot of midtones will results in canvas having mixed colors. You can use any shape you'd like. For best results, use a large image (1024x1024) made with white shape on black canvas as clipboard.

New update. Minor bug fix. You will see the results is closer to the original image.

@Reptilliansince your plugin has a native DLL dependency, you should package them together and include a .deps.json. The 3 files should go into their own folder when installed.

There are few other of my own plugin that depends on the G'MIC library. It's a bit large to store on this forum, and I'm literally the only one in the world  qualified to work on G'MIC-PDN plugins.

 

I will see my option. I'll try adding a folder called GmicPDN, and then drop the GmicSharpNative folder there and the required dll there with deps.json.

 

I think the other gmicpdn dlls can also go into GmicPDN folder. Changes to the library is unlikely to break anything. Older gmic commands most likely will work with new g'mic. Just not the revert.

 

EDIT: Yep, creating GmicPDN folder, and then inserting GmicSharpNative folder, and the gmicpdn dlls works.
