bsiegel Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Just posting to say that I've downloaded the latest source and added the ability to merge two layers into one (implemented the same way as Merge Down, for you Photoshop people). Once I clean everything up, I will provide a diff to the current source package. I hope that you like it and perhaps even want to include it in a future version of PDN. Here is the diff. Make sure to add the two new files MergeLayerHistoryAction.cs and SplitLayerHistoryAction.cs to your paintdotnet project. http://home.case.edu/bes7/MergeDown.patch.gz Here's an installer in case anyone wants to use this feature without compiling their own. Please download it if you get a chance and try to break the Merge Layer feature, thanks! http://home.case.edu/bes7/PaintDotNet_2 ... geDown.zip EDIT: Paint.NET v2.70 with Merge Layer Down is now available! Additionally, the auto-update feature will now check for new versions of PDN with Merge Layer Down instead of the official PDN. --Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 We're planning to include this in v3.0. 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...
bsiegel Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Good to hear I was using PDN for a somewhat large project, and got frustrated by the lack of ability to merge layers, so I just went off and wrote it. If you want to use it in some way in a future version, feel free. --Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsiegel Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 I posted an installer - check the first message in this thread --Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Only one subtle flaw I have found: the Open Recent... Droplist is enlarged and starts at x = 0. (Missed a class somewhere?) Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsiegel Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 That's odd - I didn't go anywhere near that code. Furthermore, I just checked by opening first the official build and then my build, and the Open Recent... menu looks the same in both - items are numbered properly, and sized to their thumbnails. I'll look into the code and see if I can find something. Thanks --Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsiegel Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 A new version has been released based on the Paint.NET v2.70 source. Additionally, the auto-update feature will now check for new versions of PDN with Merge Layer Down instead of the official PDN. --Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Are you managing your own update manifest now, and just pointed it to a different url? It doesn't look like the .patch was updated for this, so I can't tell.

bsiegel Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yes that's correct. I just followed the format for the version.txt file and pointed the updater to the new URL. I'm not sure if more has to be done - I basically read through the comments and source for the updater and followed along. Just seemed like it would be nice for users to get future updates automatically. Though it's no secret that I would much prefer to see this patch make it into the mainline code - there's really no use maintaining two different distributions and it's a planned feature anyhow. --Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disabled Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Great Patch! How is the chance seeing this in the official build in the next weeks? I would like to stay official, but if it takes some time, I would install this build... Thanks for your effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 There are no more planned updates for the v2.xx tree. The next planned update will be v3.0, which is many months away. bsiegel, Keep in mind that any update you want to publish on your own must be signed with a code signing certificate. Paint.NET clients will refuse any zip that contains an update exe that is not signed, and it would be an extremely poor idea to disable that check in your patch. It's probably a better idea to leave them pointed at the standard update manifest, and to publish your own updates in this thread.
