Jerry Adkins Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I recently had to replace the hard drive in my computer and re-install Paint.net. I installed the latest version 3.5. When I copied my collection of plugin files (including outline object) to the effects the object option does not appear in the Effects menu. Any advice is appreciated.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Download the plugin again.

Jerry Adkins Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I downloaded it again and copied the dll to the effects folder. Object option is still not showing up in the effects menu in pdn. I am using Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You may have installed the files in the wrong place. It is easy to do on Windows 7. Try following the instructions on the following page VERY carefully: https://boltbait.com/pdn/InstallingEffects.php Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If working through the steps BoltBait pointed you to doesn't work, post a screenshot of your effects folder. Show the path to the folder & also the contents (note maximum forum image size = 800px).

yellowman Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 There are 2 of them, which one are you referring to? Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Adkins Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I followed the directions from BoitBat. It still didn't work. Finally, out of desperation, I deleted the dll files in the effects folder and copied the dll files from BoitBat's downloaded zip file to the effects folder. It now works. I had a lot of other plugins installed, and probably one or more of them were causing problems. Just a guess on my part. Now, I will only install plugins as they are needed. Thanks everyone for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) I have the same problem. I just installed paint.net version 3.5.10 on 7/25/13 but when i go into effects, the objects option doesn't appear ( I have no Plugins ). A fast answer is appreciated =] Edited July 25, 2013 by Dragoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 There is no object menu until you install some plugins. I recommend the BoltBait pack, the Pyro pack, Ed Harvey pack, and KrisVDM pack. You can find these in the plugin index. How to install plugins 1 Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
