Onemorelevel Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Okay, Im planning on writing a plugin in VBS for paint.net, It will autosave, and wont appear in the effects menu. Question is, how would I make it not appear in any of the menus? I assume that template for the VBS plugins wont work, because it probably will place it in the effects submenu. Can I just make the program, then make it a .dll and place it in the folder? Also, is there any special code I need to add at the beginning of the program to make it work in paint.net Quote "Being calm can work wonders" ~My gallery~D: Iceberg Tutorial!

david.atwell Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Unless I'm severely mistaken, the Paint.NET effects architecture won't allow for this. An effect has to take the information it's given, use it, then give it back. It can't run in the background while you use Paint.NET. Also, in my experience, plugin dialogs are modal, which means that while this mythical plugin is running, you can't change anything. :-) So, yeah...back to the drawing board. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Simon Brown Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Given that PDN only supports effects and filetypes, an autosave plugin would probably violate the plugin rules. Plugins must not use "reflection" to try and "hack" Paint.NET.For example, using some of the stuff in System.Reflection, you could potentially add stuff to the File menu, or create new toolbar items. Or even new tools. Don't do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
