null54 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Will you be adding support for filetypes that use layers to CustomBrushesMini?

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Hello. I wanted the updated CustomBrushes plugin, so I deleted the one I had then tried to install this pack. I think all the plugins were added correctly, but now I can't find the newer CustomBrushes Mini. Did I goof somthing? On the topic of layers, I don't know what kind of layers Null54 wants, but I would like to see brush sets be more usable.You probably don't need this explained, but just so we're on the same page, here's what I mean...I often get brushes from brusheezy, and most of them come in sets. Which is normally an abr file that has 2 or more brushes in it, each brush on it's own layer. These brush sets don't de-layer in CustomBrushes Mini, making it so the set of brushes are a single flattened brush. Because of this, I first have to use a program like abrMate to divide the brushes up. Once they are individual brushes, I can then use them in CustomBrushes Mini.As a side note : Paint.NET has an ABR file extension plugin, using this plugin I have loaded the brush sets into Paint.NET, which opens the sets in layers. PS : THANK YOU for your hard work and the plugin updates. Edited June 11, 2014 by Cc4FuzzyHuggles Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorOutlaw Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) @Cc4FuzzyHuggles, you could also download abrViewer from Source Forge. It basically converts ABR file into individual graphic files in .PNG format. I have used that method in the past. @SimonBrown, is there any chance the interface could load a copy of a layer onto the canvas? For example, lets say I have an outline of a sketch on Layer A, and I want to paint in Layer B. I would copy the sketch from Layer A, then on Layer B, I would run the brush plug-in, and paste the sketch as a "layer" onto the canvas for guide. I haven't tried that, by the way, I was curious if it was possible.

I actually tried that program first, but for some reason it didn't work well on my PC, so I had to find an alternative. In the end I found abrMate, and I think in some ways I like it more.

Simon Brown Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 CustomBrushesMini would load each layer as a brush. Would having that behaviour for few specific filetypes be sufficient? Is abr the main one you have in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null54 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Would having that behaviour for few specific filetypes be sufficient? Is abr the main one you have in mind? That would work, although it may be easier to check the SupportsLayers property than trying to detect specific filetypes. The ABR filetype is the one that I was referring to.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Sorry, I still don't see it. The only way I see a custom brushes is if I put the older one back in my effects folder. Does it need to be in there first and the new one simply "updates" it?

sashwilko Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Custom Brushes mini not working on build 5284.

sashwilko Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Sorry for the double post, but I can now report Custom brushes mini as working. I removed the ImPDF File type plugin and CBM is now working - Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 A stable version has been published in the plugins section. Loading multiple layers as separate brushes hasn't been implemented, but may be considered for a later version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I recommend releasing your 4.0 plugin pack in a new thread. It makes users aware that this may not work on 3.5.11. If you are not supporting the old pack We Mods can lock it - or you can remove the link.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Are we talking about this one? http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/15218-simon-bs-plugin-pack-custom-brushes-editable-text-and-more-2014-06-22/ IMHO a change of date isn't enough to indicate to users that an update has taken place. I would have missed it entirely in my monthly revision of the Plugin Index because I don't scan old thread titles. How about at least a post in the thread to indicate that all your plugins work with 3.5.11 and 4.0x? Slightly aside: I don't want to play hide-and-seek with plugin authors. If any of you are revising or changing the contents of your plugin packs make it clear with a post or let me know via PM so I can update the Plugin Index. A new thread is a great way to show me and others that new stuff exists, and it's date-stamped.

Simon Brown Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Sorry about that. I also posted in the CustomBrushesMini thread that an update had been posted. Apart from updating the date in the plugin pack thread, is there anything else I can do to make it clear? Since 4.0 hadn't been released when I posted the update, I made sure the plugins supported 3.5.11 as well. However, support for 3.5.11 may be dropped in the next update. I've added a notice that the plugins should work in 4.0 and 3.5.11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks Simon. Changing a post or a thread title doesn't raise a flag for me. I rely on a new post or a new thread to see changes as these are flagged as "unread". Either will do. A PM would also work 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...
