Usually, errors such like this one are caused by out-of-date plugins, so do make sure you have the most recent version of the plugin that's causing the crash.

Jellyboots Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Trouble with plugin I recently downloaded the Polar Transformations plugin, because I wanted to make curved writing. The files are in the "Effects" folder, but when I go to unblock them(ie unblock>apply>ok) then fire up paint.net the effects are not in the effects option. When I go back to the effect folder and click on properties the files are still blocked! How can I unblock these files? I have home premium vista.

ms_janessa Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm able to download and install the plugins, most plugins work but when it comes to like textures and brushes I can't seem to get those to work, Is their anything someone can tell me how to do it? Thanks :wink: --Janessa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 When I go back to the effect folder and click on properties the files are still blocked!How can I unblock these files? Move them on your desktop. Don't copy them, move them. Then unblock them both on your desktop, and move them back. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move them on your desktop. Don't copy them, move them. Then unblock them both on your desktop, and move them back. Yep, that unblocked them,thanks. But they still don't show up in the "distort" effects menu, as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Since someone just asked me about this in a PM... How to install the palette file: 1. Open Paint.NET 2. Expand the Color Docker by clicking "more" button: 3. Click the palette button: 4. Select "Open palettes folder..." This will open a standard windows explorer window. 5. Find my palette file and right-click on it and choose "copy" from the context menu. 6. Go to the window that opened in step 4. Choose Edit > Paste from the menu. 7. Close that window. 8. Click the Palette button in the color docker window (like in step 3) and notice that your new palette file is listed at the top of that menu. Select the new palette entry to view the palette. 9. That's it. 3 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tymora11 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 OK, I'm having trouble with the Advanced Tools plugin. Having scoured both the download (the readme and plugin itself) and the forums and getting nowhere, I'm resorting to asking. I have the plugin downloaded and unzipped, same as the rest of my plugins. The .dll is in the Effects folder. However, when I open the effect in pdn, all I get is the main screen (as shown on the first post of the plugin's forum). Eventually, if I leave it open long enough, I get a message saying it was an April Fool's joke. (It also says not to ask about it in the forums, but if he didn't want me doing that, he should have made it clear how to fix it!). In the forum for the plugin, I saw somebody else had the same problem, and got a nasty comment about reading the rules in the ReadMe first. Well, I looked at the ReadMe, and all it is is a JPEG of a smiley face. Somebody said something about having to unblock it, so I tried that. "Unblock" doesn't come up as an option on either the Readme or the plugin itself. Finally, I went through this entire thread and checked to make sure I'd done everything. As far as I can tell, I have. Can anybody help me with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If you download it again you'll see no readme.txt (although the picture is still there). It was changed when I provided LFC with a new version that included the April Fools' DLL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly_Girl33 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 What if you don't have "effects" in your Paint.NET folder? I only have New Folder...What do I do ? Never mind, figured it out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsarnikolas2 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I had to re-install everything after a destructive restore. Downloaded the latest paint.net and then started downloading the plugins I like to use (pyro's, boltbait's, etc.). I extracted the .dll and then placed it in the effects folder. I clicked on the properties and unblocked each one and applied. Then I opened my paint.net and nada--not anything new under any menu. So I went here: http://boltbait.googlepages.com/install Confirmed I did install correct. So any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
