usedHONDA Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I started this because when my hard drive died a few days ago, all of my plugins (and pdn) were lost. It took me 30 minutes just to get them back on my computer (half of them are still in zip files). I just don't want anybody else to experience that. This was suggested months ago, but never took any shape. My idea is to create a collection of plugins. It will be in an installer that is almost completely automated. Now before I do any of this, I want some of the plugin's creators to give approval to this. Approved: BoltBait evanolds Illnab1024 MadJik rpetrich The PPP is not yet available to the public. But in the meantime you can get a zip folder that contains the plugins that will be in the PPP right here. If you have any questions about the PPP, email me at: "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankb Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 IMHO this usage is already covered by the license, so there is no approval necessary. Sorry for answering so late :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Which plugins did I write that aren't already included in Paint.NET itself?

rpetrich Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My plugin's GPL, so my approval isn't entirely necessary. That being said, you've got it anyway Looking forward to the pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Which plugins did I write that aren't already included in Paint.NET itself? I would guess: pdnbench, codelab, and the samples that come with codelab? (I don't see Tom's name on the list.) BTW, I've written 16 different plugins... Which ones were you considering using? (FYI, here's the list.) Also, I would encourage you to write an install package instead of a simple zip file. This way, users could select the ones they want and the installer would make sure they were being installed into the proper directory.

I would guess: pdnbench, codelab, and the samples that come with codelab? (I don't see Tom's name on the list.) Yup! (Did Tom write any plugins?) BTW, I've written 16 different plugins... Which ones were you considering using? All of them... Also, I would encourage you to write an install package instead of a simple zip file. This way, users could select the ones they want and the installer would make sure they were being installed into the proper directory. I was thinking about that too.

Rick Brewster Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 PdnBench isn't really a plugin, and BoltBait is maintaining CodeLab now. All the other plugins we've done have been subsequently integrated into Paint.NET. So you don't really need mine or Tom's permission because there's nothing to include in the plug-in pack The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 BoltBait, you say you have 16 plugins. I only see 12 (and a color pallet).

usedHONDA Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Oh, okay. So I'm guessing that you'll go down on the approved list.

BoltBait Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Oh, okay. So I'm guessing that you'll go down on the approved list. It depends. If you just zip everything up... no.

Rick Brewster Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 The installer should use the following registry key to determine where Paint.NET is installed: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Paint.NET / TARGETDIR Remember, not everybody installs to C:/Program Files/Paint.NET. And make sure your installer is 64-bit aware. Otherwise it will put things in to C:/Program Files (x86)/Paint.NET and then nothing will work for 64-bit users (like ME!) and great unhappiness will ensue.

BoltBait Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 In FF I had to right click>show image. I tried to go to the link directly and IE told me that I needed to login to the web site to see the image (403 error). UH, I would say, slow down. Do it right. Don't be in a rush to push something substandard out the door. People will wait. Along with what Rick said, it should detect if PdN is running and warn you to close it before attempting to install plugins.

MadJik Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Feel free to use my plugins as long as you mention the author(s)... UH, I would say, slow down. Do it right. Don't be in a rush to push something substandard out the door. People will wait... And yes, perhaps we should 'validate' plugin as packageable. I mean I've just published new plugin, it could have bugs, or could be beta version... still evoluting (re-uploaded -> re-download) etc...

usedHONDA Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 My status: I got a working installer (and two banners!), but I'm way off from releasing it (especially because I need to add MadJic's files).
