arana Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 i currently have a lot of plugins, and sometime following a tutorial is difficult because i cant fin the effect in the menus, sometimes it is obvious but sometime it isnt, is there any such plugin that would allow me to type the first letters of the effect i am looking for and letting paint.net find it for me? (like a quick search in vista start menu to find programs) that would save a lot of time and i am sure everyone would benefit from it thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arana Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Nothing like that is available. is it "doeable" incodelab? or would it need to be added by paint.net developers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Is it "do-able" in codelab? Not by me. Someone may know whether it's possible. For now, the main page for each plugin often will show the Menu path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APShredder Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 There is a plugin in Curtis' Plugin Pack called Effect Lab. It may be useful for your needs. Quote BlendModes Plus | Dissolve | Extract Color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 That works very well for this. I retract my previous statement. Once installed, Effects Lab is found in: Effects > Advanced > Effects Lab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabaddon Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Great tip! I'd forgotten I even had Effects Lab. However, and I realize this may not be the place for this, but I thought I'd just note that it only seems to work if you're searching the first word of an effect's name. Rather than repeat it here, I posted a question about it in the pack's thread: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/8043-curtis-plugin-pack-update-for-354/page__view__findpost__p__332079 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 ScriptLab also has a search ability, and should work for for any word in the title, filename, or classname. Sometimes it even finds the author! Assuming that's not broken. I haven't updated ScriptLab in a while. Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

tabaddon Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thank you - it worked. I hadn't spent much time with ScriptLab before, as I didn't realize you could run effects from it. Sometimes I just know what I want to do, not exactly what it's called or where to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
