BoltBait Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Read this: http://boltbait.googlepages.com/install Basically, you need to put the DLL files into your Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects folder.

stence Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 i've read that, but i cant get it to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'll assume you're having trouble with my Feather effect. (Just so I have some name to type.) Since you said that you put the Feather.DLL file on your desktop, do this: 1) Right-Click on Feather.DLL and choose Properties 2) Look at the bottom of the general properties page and click the "unblock" button if it exists. If there isn't one, ignore this step. 3) Click OK to close the properties dialog box. 4) Right Click on Feather.DLL and choose "Copy" from the menu 5) Click the Start button and click Run 6) In the Run dialog box, enter: %ProgramFiles%/Paint.NET/Effects 7) Press enter. That should open your paint.net effects folder window. 8) Go inside of that window and cllick the Edit > Paste menu. You should see the Feather.DLL in the window. 9) If Paint.NET is open, close it. 10) Run paint.net 11) Click the Effects menu and look for the "feather" command. When following these steps, where are you having trouble?

stence Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 when i type in %ProgramFiles%/Paint.NET/Effects in the run thing it doesn't open anyhing cuz the folder is not in c drive its in D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 That's funny. It should still work no matter what drive your program files are on. "%ProgramFiles%" is a variable that points to your Program Files directory. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Just open the Program Files folder on your D drive and find the Paint.NET folder. Double click on that and then double-click on the Effects folder. Paste the DLL file into that effects folder.

BoltBait Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'm pretty sure you do need to be Administrator. Did the Feather.DLL file show up in the Effects folder when you copied it there?

BoltBait Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Double check to see if there is an "Unblock" button in the properties on the DLL in the Effects folder.

BoltBait Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Maybe the permissions are messed up on that file. Make sure it can be read by everyone.

Rick Brewster Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Not in XP Home. It does not support the file system security features, iirc (or at least, the UI for it).

BoltBait Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 So, Rick, why does the Effect DLL load when he's administrator but not when he's logged in under a different profile?
