AhmedElyamani Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hello, I've recently found code lap , and found how cool is it , And since i know some stuff about C# language and similar languages , i read the Tutorials , and i understood a lot of things about how to make a plugin , and how Paint.ne works .. So i thought it'd be cool to Design my Plugins Any way i made a couple of plugins , when i test them they Works really Great as needed , i save it But it saves as "Untitled.dll " So i rename it .. At this step there is still no problem at all , I test the plugin into Paint.net and it works Perfectly as wanted , but when i create another plugin , The problem is here .. i simply get Two copies of the same plugin in my Menu , When i delete the old one the New one works , when i Delete the new one The old one works, I don't know why this happens , here is a screen shot of what the menu looks like when i have 4 plugins installed : You can also test it your self by downloading them from my signature , When you only have one it'llwork , but when you have 2 or more , Only the last one will be there and it will be dublecated be the amount of them .. Please help , i really appreciate it Thanks , Ahmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Hello Ahmed, Glad to see you've started with codelab ! - (I haven't had time to test your plugin yet I'm afraid). If I understand you correctly, then I think the problem is ... you should be giving each version, of each plugin, a unique name and menu name, in the 'create dll' save dialog. PDN will get very confused if you have 2 plugins with exactly the same name. Although they should have different version numbers. Personally I name them ... exampleplugin1a, exampleplugin1b, exampleplugin1c, etc. for example. Then when I publish, I make the title nice and simple. You can write the title and other information into the code itself, so you only need to change the last character each save. Take a look at this old developers central thread - where EER helped me get started. I think you may get more knowledgeable replies about codelab if you post in 'developers central' or in the codelab thread itself. Good luck Edited November 27, 2011 by Red ochre 1 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

But i'm afraid that this is not the problem because They have really totaly different names , anyway i already knew hat i can write information In the code it self , because i saw alo of Code Lap codes made by Bolt Bait and i've noticed these things .. Thanks for your reply again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 You need to use File -> Save and choose a unique name before File -> Save as DLL 1 Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 And when you do as Pyrochild has said, pay particular attention to the filename you give the plugin - as that's what the dll will be named. MyPlugin.cs => MyPlugin.dll What you call the plugin (inside Codelab) will be the name it appears under in the PDN menu system. <moved to Plugin Developers Central> Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 You need to use File -> Save and choose a unique name before File -> Save as DLL Exactly this ^^^ CodeLab uses the "Save as" filename as the C# namespace for the effect. If you're not careful, you could create a conflict. The next version of CodeLab will use a different method of selecting a namespace name.

AhmedElyamani Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 You need to use File -> Save and choose a unique name before File -> Save as DLL Thank you ! It works perfectly now !!
