Works fine for me. Which settings are you using?

[Pixey]

I have added a new ZIP file for @midora's 'Chop & Save Plugin'.  Now the Optional Based Library .dlc and .dll go into the Effects Folder and NOT the Paint.net Folder as before

Windows says it's a virus. What about it would trigger that?

That does happen sometimes, but it's okay to allow it when you know it comes from a source you know

 

EDIT:  I'm going to upload a new one as I notice a rar file is in there, that's not needed.

 

[Sammy6]

Okay. It works well, although when the canvas is less than 128 pixels tall the plugin crashes when you use it.

This plugin seems to not work correctly in the current version, any transparency is made black regardless of the file type you save it as. Is there any chance this plugin can get an update?

I concur this Plugin is not working in 5.0.13.  Unfortunately @midora has not logged in for while and this may not be fixed until he does.
