AmaCha Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Your plugins are awesome, thanks a lot ! 😲 Great job !! Just a question : I use a portable version of PaintDotNet, and I didn't find how to install your plugin in "a standard way". I finally did an installation in "Store mode" then I moved all the files from `%User%\Documents\paint.net App Files` to the `PaintDotNet 5.x` folder and it works perfectly. Perhaps there is a .zip/.7z archive file for portable installation mode, but I didn't find it. It could be great to have a button for such a file in the original post, like "Download" and "Donate" 😄 Edited January 23 by AmaCha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is there now but I can't figure out how to use it. Can you help or is there somewhere that I can read about it? Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlastOfBN Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Earlier, I noticed that not all my computer's fonts are showing up in the plugin's dropdown menu, and some fonts that do appear aren't rendering in the intended font and default to Segoe UI. and these weren't issues I've had before. This first started to occur after I updated the plugin pack again for the 5.0.1 update as BoltBait suggested in response to the update (I hope I was supposed to do that), and I have made some images using the plugin that contain fonts that I've used that I'm unable to select with the plugin right now (e.g. ultra bold/black fonts, bitmap/pixel fonts, and rather cartoony and asymmetric fonts don't appear on the dropdown menu in the plugin). I wasn't sure if this was something relating to the font's format, as I was assuming that TrueType fonts aren't compatible with this plugin at the moment, and only function with OpenType fonts (I came up with that theory due to the fact that a lot of bitmap fonts are TrueType instead of OpenType, but I'm not sure). I hope I'm not pressuring anyone, rushing any updates, or acting like an entitled fool (something I wish not to do). My intent is only to point out something not being right. I'm not sure if this will be fixed, but hopefully we'll find a solution to this. Edited January 26 by BlastOfBN Minor typo. I should really start paying more attention when I’m proofreading something I wrote… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olavrb Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Feature request: Ability to select a different install directory. I sync Paint.NET App Files with OneDrive and use the registry keys for "Custom Plugin/Shapes Folders" ( https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html ). Issue, or at least maybe something that can be made faster and more intuitive: Why loop through all the plugins at install when only a few are actually selected for install? It looks like the installer (v6.5) installs all the plugins (but it doesn't actually do that), even though I only selected one of them. So, misleading GUI IMO, and slow. Shouldn't the "Install selected" action detect enabled checkboxes and only loop through those? Also, the two errors when starting the installer when using the Microsoft Store version of Paint.NET could maybe be removed? Either try to detect whether Paint.NET is installed. PowerShell example: [bool]$(Try{$null = Get-AppxPackage -Name 'dotPDNLLC.paint.net' -ErrorAction 'SilentlyContinue'; $?}Catch{$false}) Or present a popup at startup "Regular installer or Microsoft Store"?

This is due to rewriting them from GDI+ to Direct Write... something I was not familiar with a the time. I'm working on a solution.

anderpainter Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Thanks for all your hard work on these! BTW, the Color Balance plugin no longer appears (for me, at least) in P.N 5.0.1. Any idea why? It's very useful—I'd hate to lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 8 minutes ago, anderpainter said: Color Balance plugin no longer appears It does for me. Couple things to check: 1. Check to see if there are any plugin errors 2. Run my installer and see if Color Balance is checked. My installer is actually a plugin Manager in that it will uninstall plugins that are not checked.

BlastOfBN Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) For whatever reason, my browser (Google Chrome) marks the new version as dangerous, and it's never done this before with any PDN plugins. I'm assuming it's probably just some vital file or line of code that got marked as malicious, but there's probably no malware in the download file.

But, you know the source of the file and you trust me not to put harmful stuff into my downloads... so, you're safe. 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
