wheany Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'd like it if Paint.net's plugin folders were under the user profile, inside AppData. Currently, the default method of trying new plugins is a bit of a pain, since every time you copy or delete the plugins, you have to go throug UAC. Personally, I have made a symlink from under Paint.net's folder to my profile, but this only works on single-user machines. If anyone else wanted to do the same, they could not. Additionally, every time I update Paint.net, I have to remake the symlink because the updater replaces it with a normal folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Security wise, this is a horrible idea. You might wait for Paint.NET 4.0 as Rick will be revamping the entire effect system including the install procedure.

wheany Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Security wise, this is a horrible idea. How so? And how is it different from, say, any browser extension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
