Martin Osieka 96 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) 'What's It?' Tools Effect Plugin Summary This Paint.NET effect plugin allows you to identify files by looking for a file type specific signature in the file content. If Paint.NET fails to open an image then you may check with this tool if the file extension is wrong and correct it. Warning: If a file can be identified by the plugin then this does not mean that the file can be loaded by a Paint.NET native or plugin file type. The file may be corrupt or use an unsupported sub format. If you are missing a specific file type or get a wrong identification just tell and we will see what can be done. Keywords Identify Files, File type, File extension Author Martin Osieka Download Find the latest version of the plugin WhatIsIt.Effect v1.0 (11.4.2015) here WhatIsIt.Effect v1.0.zip Installation Follow the instructions carefully Unzip "WhatIsIt.Effect vX.X.zip" Copy the two files WhatIsIt.Effect.dll/.dlc to the Paint.NET\Effects\ folder After a restart of Paint.NET you will find the plugin at Menu->Effects->Tools->What's It?... oder für deutsche Anwender unter Menu->Effekte->Werkzeuge->Was ist es?... ;-) Compatibility Paint.NET 3.5.11 and 4.0.5 Supported languages The language used in the plugin depends on the language setting of Paint.NET and the support of this language by the plugin.
