Putting PDN on a CD??

[Noswad]

Is there any way to put PDN on a CD? I got a new laptop, and I want all the effects I already had on my desktop. Can I put PDN on a CD and then download it to my new laptop?? If so, could you walk me through it?

Why don't you simply Copy/Paste your plug-ins onto a USB drive, then download the pdn installer and do the same with that?

I find it best to always redownload plugins and Paint.NET when doing a fresh install. That way, you get all the latest plugins.

Plugin authors often make changes and republish plugins. It pays to redownload every so often just to stay current.

You will be able to copy PDN into a CD (or flash drive), but you won't be able to download NEW plugins.

Hmm. I guess I'll just re-install then. Now if I can just remember which plugins I downloaded.

Thanks!

The suggestion of always reinstalling plugins is a good one for the reasons BoltBait mentions.

In a pinch, however, it should also work to just copy the Effects and FileTypes directories to the new system. I fully understand that sometimes (or often) (or always!), it just isn't something that's fun to do.

I think I have (for the most part) gotten my effects on this computer. Thanks, everyone!
