dpy's Plugin Pack (2014-05-04)

[Ego Eram Reputo 2,440]

Wrong location. If you have the Store version the files should be placed in

 

/My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/

 

For the classic version, put them in C:/program files/paint.net/effects

Hi @mindbody&soul

The Files are located in an unneeded folder; ¨dpyplugins" is NOT required.

The DLL files only should be in the effects folder one tier higher than you have them now.

This should sort out your problem.

Thank you so much. It took care of the issue right away. I really appreciate your help.

Curious if the ==> 2014-05-04 8.1 Pack <== is the latest version of the plug-in pack? Through my initial searching, I haven't found any update beyond this, but I might not be searching everywhere.

 

* apologies for violating rule #2 here as I replied on the heels of all of the former discussion ... I can't seem to find a "delete" option to remedy this problem and re-direct my question

** having a clearer release notes version history might help avoid questions like mine here today ... it appears that different plug-in producers are following different release management processes within the forums so thank you for your patience with me on this question 👍

You're fine.  Rule #2 is really just so people don't START threads in the plugin forum asking questions about plugins or requesting plugins, etc.

My system is Windows 10, I have Paint.Net v4.1.6 installed and have installed some plugins, using the instructions from Paint.Net. I have downloaded and extracted dpyplugins8.1 in the paint.net "effects" folder. When I open paint.net, circle text functions are not available/active. Help??

And your other plugins work without issue?

Do you have the menu Effects > Text Formations?

 

If you do, hover over the first entry and post a screenshot of the tool tip that shows up.

Hello. First, thanks dpy for the great plugins

 

Second, I'm using ColorBalance+ (version 1.1.4330.37850, from here) and I've noticed its menu looking a bit wrong now. See: as if "Magenta" moves "Green" to the edge. 

 

It just happened the other day. Never looked like that before. The PDN version was 4.24, and I updated to 4.25 but it still looks funny. I even tried PDNrepair.

 

Not a big deal, of course, but maybe there's a bug to be fixed?

 

PS. If that matters, my display is 1440x900. And I haven't changed the system default font size. The bug just came out of nowhere...

This has always been the case (as far as I can remember; I started with version 3.5.11). In this case, the interface does not depend on paint.net and his changes, but depends on number of whitespaces, which the author effect placed between words Magenta and Green.

It is logical to assume that if the words Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are tied to the left edge, then the words Red, Green and Blue should be aligned to the right - take a look at the interface of the Color Balance effect by @BoltBait.

The last time @dpy was at the forum in July 2016. Try to send him a private message, maybe he will respond to your request to change the interface. Although I do not consider this situation a bug.

[Vagabondi 140]

ReMake, thanks for the respond :)

 

Well, I started much later -- with the 4.021 version, and it wasn't the case, believe it or not. Btw here's the classic menu from the plugin thread and it looks okay. Green - Red - Blue straight in line. (Mine used to look the same & I totally have no idea how I managed to mess with it.)

 

Anyway, it doesn't matter much as long as the plugin keeps working fine & won't crash. And I didn't realize that dpy is not a regular visitor now (should have checked the profile). Nevermind...
