Plugin Index

[ReMake]

Because in Plugin Index, the effect has the old name Brush Factory.

[ardneh]

Yes. Just wanted EER to know.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Thanks @ReMake and @ardneh.

 

I've flagged the Brush Factory entry as obsolete in the Index and added a new entry for Dynamic Draw. This means people can still find Brush Factory and will get pointed to Dynamic Draw.

July Update

 

No new plugins this month. I've updated a couple of listings and added a new filter = "INCOMPATIBLE"

[Ego Eram Reputo]

August Update

 

One new plugin this month. A conversion tool from Reptillian

 

RGB-8 To HSV-8 Reptillian Convert images from RGB-8 to HSV-8 (0-255 Range). Note: there are no parameters, the effect just runs and closes.

 

[Reptillian]

 

Hmm....

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Oh. That's weird. I'll fix it next update.

 

It was much worse than I thought! 🤯  Almost all the Index was misaligned by a line. New JSON file uploaded just now will fix it.

 

Thanks for pointing it out

We all make mistakes like this on occasion  Thankfully it was an easy fix!

Hi Rick.
Does PDN 4.2.16 "benefit" from this bug?
If so, is there any chance of correcting and re-releasing this version?

Install the latest version, which is currently 4.3.11. There is no other solution, nor will there be.

@Ego Eram Reputo

I blame the time zone for missing this one. It reads Jul 31 to me.

 

I just found it today

 

[Ego Eram Reputo]

My bad. I completely missed it.

 

Sorry @Reptillian & thanks @AndrewDavid

[Reptillian]

Actually, it was posted just around midnight in GMT-4. So, basically, considering the gap between North America, and Europe, it's easy to see why.

September Update

 

Three new plugins this month. Enjoy

 

Bit-Plane Shuffler Reptillian Shuffle the images bit-planes. Has the effect of introducing a radically different palette.

 

JPEG XL null54 Allows JPEG XL images to be loaded and saved using libjxl. Due to limitations in the libjxl version 0.6.1 API, EXIF and XMP metadata will not be loaded or saved. Source provided (MIT License).

October & November Update

 

Well, there isn't one. No new plugins have been released into the wild in the last two months.

 

I'll keep setting the traps and let you know if I catch one

[BoltBait]

When Paint.NET 5.0 drops you'll be busy, I'm sure!

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Naah I'm going to give up. <kidding>

December Update

 

Here's a cool new plugin for you of an artistic bent.....

 

Bold Brushstrokes Robot Graffiti Reinterprets the source image as if it was composed from many overlapping brush strokes.

[alexo]

Does the "release" date for a plugin specify the initial release, the latest release, or something else?

 

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Release Date = Initial release. Generally, this won't change. The exception is if a new plugin/pack is released in a new thread.

 

I do try to maintain the compatibility tags.

[alexo]

I think that it makes sense to offload some of this work to the plugin writers and automate the rest.

 

For example, when publishing a plugin, its author will fill in a short template with the plugin name, version number, release date of the version, etc. and will update it in

It can be either in the first post of the corresponding thread, or externally, and can be scrapped on a schedule.

 

I am basing this suggestion on Notepad++.  It has a built-in plugin manager that shows which plugins are available, installed, updated, and incompatible:

I agree, but there are a number of problems in this plan. Quite a few plugin authors are bound to be non-compliant. This may be because they are unaware, not logging on to the forum, MIA or cannot be bothered. It is very rare for a plugin author to let me know when they make changes. I have to trawl the forum making changes when I spot them.

 

Rick may have some ideas in this space (a plugin manager has long been discussed). Until then, I'm going to keep on manually updating the Plugin Index (I've been doing so since I created the Index back in 2009 ).

Thanks!
