Flexo013 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I'm working on adding icons, which I have as separate files, on top of a large map. Every time I drag an icon file onto paint.net I choose the option to add it as a new layer (instead of opening it). But then the icon is put all the way on the top left of my image. Since I'm very zoomed in on another part of my image I can't see the new icon. Is there a plugin/setting that would move the icon/selection to where I'm currently looking? That would prevent me from having to zoom all the way out, moving the icon to the general right area, then zooming back in to where I was, then placing the icon in the correct location. This process is becoming quite a hassle when dealing with dozens of icons. I noticed that when pasting contents it already does this by pasting the contents in the top left corner of the screen and not in the top left corner of the image. Thanks in advance!

I just gave it a try, and this still uses the absolute top left of the image for reference and it requires me to know the coordinates of where I am on the map. Figuring that stuff out makes this method equally slow as the normal method. So I am still looking for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardneh Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Perhaps you could use the icons as brushes via this plugin. (Just use a single click.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexo013 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Thanks, I'll try both those suggestions later! I'm still wondering if a plugin could hook into the inserting an image prompt to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, plugins can not do that kind of thing. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
