xchellx Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 What I wrote is not a plugin but relates to Paint.NET. It gives thumbnails for .pdn files. The source is on github... but I dont know what subforum to make a forum post of about it here. Which subforum would I post this under?

Is it not working for you? For example, see...    2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchellx Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) No, the thumbnails do not work on portable versions (I like to have Paint.NET in %APPDATA%). So I wrote an extension to do it because Paint.NET's extension just didn't want to work unless "installed". Also, I still do not know where to post this...

xchellx Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) No, sadly that does not help. This post is not of an issue of no thumbnails appearing. Thumbnails for any other type of file format work perfectly fine on my install. I know thumbnails for .pdn files will work if I "install" Paint.NET but I wish to use the portable version instead, therefore I did not install it and therefore do not have thumbnail functionality for .pdn files, hence why I made my own ShellExtension to do this instead (so I dont have to install paint.net). And still... my original question was... which subforum do I post about such ShellExtension I made? Edited June 2, 2023 by xchellx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 From an implementation standpoint, the PaintDotNet.ShellExtension.[x64/arm64].dll should work fine if you register it correctly. I don't think it has any DLL dependencies. Â What about just a script that does that with the portable installation, after copying it to some suitable location? 2 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...

How do I register it manually? regsvr32 does not like it (missing `DllRegisterServer`), and regasm requires a C# DLL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
