aworkerb 2 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I just installed the files into the FileTypes folder but ZIP doesn't appear in the Open or Save As options. I'm on 4.2.15 -- anyone using it successfully with the latest version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aworkerb 2 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Ugh. Even removing everything else from FileTypes didn't help. Well, thanks for the reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midora 261 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 @aworkerbDid you check if Settings->Plugin Errors tells you something about an exception? Maybe it is just an installation issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it is just an installation issue. Good idea. Unfortunately, "there were no errors encountered while loading plugins". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Copy the two files 'ImZIP.FileType.dll/.dlc' to the Paint.NET\FileTypes\ folder Remove other plugins supporting the same file type (.zip) from Paint.NET\FileTypes\ folder (to avoid possible conflicts) I.e. 'TileImageFileType.dll' plugin. If you did, post a screenshot of your FileTypes folder showing us what's in there.

If you did, post a screenshot of your FileTypes folder showing us what's in there. The first time around, no, because I was fairly sure I didn't have any zip-handling file types. Second time around I removed everything else from the folder. Here's what's in there now: ImZIP.FileType.dlc ImZIP.FileType.dll PhotoShop.dll SvgFileType.dll ImXCF.Command.exe ImXCF.FileType.dll Is it possible my company has some software running that suppressed just the execution/use of these DLLs?

midora 261 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Is there the possibility that you mixed up the two paint.net variants Standard and Shop? Then there are different FileType folders. I would expect that paint.net throws an exception if the dll is in the right folder but access is denied. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I guess a picture's worth at least a couple of words. Here's where I installed the files.

Then there are different FileType folders. I would expect that paint.net throws an exception if the dll is in the right folder but access is denied. I'm not sure what the "Shop" version is, unless you mean the Microsoft Store? I've only ever had the standalone version. HOWEVER, your post made me poke around and finally notice that there were NO OTHER FILES in the parent folder of my FileTypes folder, only a handful of other folders (Effects, Shapes, Staging). That's because everything else is where the program actually lives, Program Files (x86), not plain old Program Files. I moved the filetype libraries to the correct folder, and now I can save out ZIP files. Too bad the reason I went down the path in the first place has come and gone. But I'll be ready for next time. Thanks for the help and motivating me to look more carefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flipper 1 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Not off to a good start. I just downloaded lmZIP.FileType v1.0 unzipped it and there are only two files in the ZIP folder : I do not see a DLL file. NOTE: this is s freshly unzipped file and not moved to C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes yet. I did move the dlc file and see the "Import from file" under layers but do not see a Save as ZIP option UPDATE: Logged into Webroot and it detects it as Malware Edited April 16 by Flipper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Try turning off your anti-virus and retry the download. BTW I've just checked the download. The DLL is present as expected.

Flipper 1 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Thanks, yes I did see the file once i dug deeper, it is being quarantined. Guess I should be using work computer for work after all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
