Align Object Plugin - Updated 06/17/2007

[pyrochild 338]

The current UI is fine just the way it is.

Agreed. If it ain't broke... Yeah, it seriously pains me to say "ain't"

Why not have it align the user's selection by using sliders for both X and Y? I mean that only if it is possible. Wouldn't that also eliminate the fact that they have to use the plugin against a transparent background?

I have downloaded both the .dll and and the source, but I do not know how to install this plugin. Please can anyone help me?

You can align to selection, but the layer still needs transparency, otherwise there is nothing to align as the entire object fills your selection. If you want to slide your object on x or y, its not aligning it, you can just use the move selected pixels tool

It's not too clear what your issue is. I'm sure that the plugin is working 'as designed' and its function is logically correct.

well for me using two objects separate from each other doesn't work at all

I am not sure if you mean this but ...

2 objects on a layer are considered one object and WILL keep the same space between them, if you have each object on a different layer, then its a different object.

lol yeah thats exacly what I mean

it works for me now... idk what was up

[barkbark00 3]

You probably had the 2 objects on different layers...

Thanks for the updated sources files.

Using VS 2005 express, I can't open the dialog form in design view! Related to abstract mode...

Could you tell me if you know why it is so!

The class AlignPluginConfigDialogBase can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual Studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again.

That's the error message I recieved when opening up the design form.

I did the form like pdn source does, you can't open it in designer.

Mabye because your not working with a transparent image, or it's already centered?

[jerkfight 17]

Its not centered, the image is on a transparent area, doesn't work.

[david.atwell 284]

It works wonderfully for me. You do know that a single non-transparent pixel throws the whole thing off, right?

[Ash 10]

Its not centered, the image is on a transparent area, doesn't work.

That's because there is some "left over" pixel on your image, either 1 small dot.

Or a pxiel that's low alpha and not visible.

Just remember happened to me too. :?

I've had a straY 100 pixies or two this is my solution, for those nastys,

use outline 1 pix wide

they now show up

so hit the back button and erase them as you have just found the offenders.

Excellent fix, Oma! I never even thought of that.

Using two Pyrochild plugins at the same time...hehe...

... Align Object isn't mine... or am I misunderstanding something?

[david.atwell 284]

Oh, carp. You're right, as I knew you would be...It's just so awesome that I figured...

:-) Just kidding. I don't know where I got the idea that AI was yours. Whoops!

EDIT: Sorry, moc426! I love this plugin, and you're a great programmer.

[Fisherman's Friend 1]

How about moving it to the new "Object" submenu?

[DarkShock 49]

I think you should update this so that the effect goes under "Object."
