APShredder Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 This is a feature I've been thinking about for a while, and finally decided to post about. I was thinking that the effects menus should automatically resize themselves when there isn't enough room for all your plugins. Sorry if I'm not being clear here, it's kind of hard to explain, so I'll add some examples below. Notice how all these effects can't fit on my screen: So to fit all of those on to one screen (because I hate clicking on those little arrows) you could do something like this: Now this is just an idea, and I realize that it may be harder to code than it sounds, but I just thought I'd put it out there as an idea. EDIT: Changed the pictures' sizes. (They were way too big!) Quote BlendModes Plus | Dissolve | Extract Color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronosRegex Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 i agree. theres an option to do this in windows, so why not paint.net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I`m with you on this one. It`s getting to the point where I have to remove them because the list just goes off the screen . I only have a laptop with a 15.4" screen so having a better layout for the plug ins would really help.

Leif Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I do agrea that this is a problem. And this looks like a good solution. I am all for it. But we may also ask the plugin developers to consider alternatives to the most overpopulated parts of the menu. Maybe they could agrea on alternative submenus. Render that creates something new; and render that modifies something existing. Something along those lines. When the new version of Paint.NET is out, there will be a good time to implement changes.

Ash Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 How about like firefox? mouse wheel can scroll the menu that is too long to fit on screen. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Render that creates something new; and render that modifies something existing. Something along those lines. The problem is that we can't exactly add new submenus retroactively when so many plugin authors have left. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yeah I've been meaning to ask for that to. It would be nice to actually use the scroll button on the mouse, but you can. You can only use those arrows to navigate the render effects.
