Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Wouldn’t installing a large number of plug-ins slow down the opening of Paint.NET, since it has to load them? Yes it does slow loading. Noticeably so. The more plugins you have the worse it gets.

toe_head2001 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I downloaded the megalo file but when I open up paint.net and go through my effects and adjustments it's still there although they don't work. I even completely removed paint.net and reinstalled please help D; D: D; Just to be safe, I'd say just completely delete the contents of your Effects directory.

Discharge Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I've installed this plugin and it works fine with Paint.NET 4.0. Even though its great to install a lot of plugins at once. I hate piracy that the author of the pirated plugins clearly noticed. I've scanned all the files related to the plugins with BitDefender and there's nothing harmful I contacted them and asked them to explain it. Hopefully they'll respond soon http://imgur.com/e83TGCJ I already uninstalled the whole plugins tho....

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I've installed this plugin and it works fine with Paint.NET 4.0. It does not. Many of the illegally bundled plugins are out-of-date. That's the #1 reason so many users have problems with it. I already uninstalled the whole plugins tho.... The best solution.

Drydareelin Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Virus Total results. I'm not sure what half the alerts mean, so take when you will - although two of them recognized the same one which usually reduces the sign of a false positive. And no, I didn't open the .zip.

toe_head2001 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 There are censors in place on the forum for profanity; can a similar censor be added for links to the Megalo site? This would both let the poster know that Megalo is pure evil rubbish, and it would also eliminate the extra work for the Mods that would have to delete the links from posts.

toe_head2001 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hmm, I see. It only works if there's no 'http://' at the beginning of the link (which technically wouldn't be a link ).

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 updated the bad word filter - lets see if this works... nope. Can't seem to get the filter to remove the link. I'll work on it later.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 It doesn't say it has no virus. It says "probably harmless". Which means it hasn't picked up the Evogen virus. Here's some completely different results from Virus Total https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/17171428186602ae6f77051a3a7ace7372e889294600bf7929f24201e706002e/analysis/1453550841/ and https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/17171428186602ae6f77051a3a7ace7372e889294600bf7929f24201e706002e/analysis/ You still think it's safe? 2 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...

Which means it hasn't picked up the Evogen virus. Or any other new malware that the antivirus software cannot yet detect. Even if this "plugin pack" does not contain any malware, it is still illegally bundling and redistributing plugins from this forum. On 4/23/2014 at 0:40 AM, Ego Eram Reputo said: You see, the accursed Megalo pack illegally bundles and redistributes plugins without permission. This is SOFTWARE PIRACY!

toe_head2001 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Not to mention many of the bundled plugins are outdated, some of which will cause paint.net to crash. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDisANoob Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Ok I understand your point and all, the plugin pack is harmful but the problem here is that I used a lot of plugins that were in the pack, could you at least mention a way to get the plugs legally? I wish to use them otherwise the program is no use to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
