JMC Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I have looked far and wide for this folder in order to install some plugins. Nowhere to be found. I installed the APP through the WINDOWS Store, it runs fine. Where are the files hiding!? JC Edited October 13, 2021 by JMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuncelli Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi @JMC, Apps from Windows Store install in a special folder that is hidden from users. You can install the plugins to this folder: <Documents>\paint.net App Files More detail here: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to install this set of plugins - Paint.NET Effects (telenet.be) Each time I run the installer I receive a message which says - Paint.Net is not installed. Any ideas here? I tried to drag the DLL file into the effects folder but that did not work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 @JMC try installing my plugin pack: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/113220-boltbaits-plugin-pack-for-pdn-v4212-and-beyond-updated-july-16-2020/?ct=1635397593 It has an installer and although it will tell you that it can't find Paint.NET (because you have the store version), that's ok. Just bypass that prompt and when the main screen comes up, check the box for the store version. It will create the proper directories for the store version for you and install my plugins into them. Restart Paint.NET and see if you can see my plugins. Report back. Don't worry, you can uninstall my plugins later if you don't like them.

I recommend BoltBait's plugin pack. Edited October 28, 2021 by otuncelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plugin I am after is the "color accent" tool. Does your pack have something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
