Simon Brown Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Works great. Do you think I should write a program to change the settings? P.S. How stupid of me to expect the avrage end user to edit the registry by hand. I think you should have a option to change the default settings. And the regedit methord didn't work for me at all, and I have admin privledges. EDIT: And can we please have the aviimportsettings.txt in the Paint.NET User Files folder? And if the folder isn't there, your plug-in can just create it. I try and make my programs as easy to use as possible so I put it in a place where the user will easily be able to find it.

Leif Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I try and make my programs as easy to use as possible so I put it in a place where the user will easily be able to find it. Depending on haw many files people have in there Documents folder. ;-) I did find it easily. The paint.NET user file folder seams like the natural place. But whatever.

Fisherman's Friend Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The paint.NET user file folder seams like the natural place. Yes, it is. BTW, I downloaded 2.3 and my file types had bugs again. And I had no AVI save option, which might be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkShock Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Great plug-in! I have a bunch of video that aren't AVI format, but I can convert them easily. :wink: Quote ---- Gallery | Sig Tutorial | deviantART | Sig Videos | PhotoBucket ----D E S T I N Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkShock Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 That's what I'm doing, but that is still showing up. When I try to open up an AVI video it says problem opening video then it shows a 500 by 500 images that is transparent.

DarkShock Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 One of them worked when I did it the first time. I used the same video again and it didn't work. Edit: what kind of AVIs are there?

And some on digital cameras have the extension ".avi" but are really MPEGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVI is the container that your video is in WMV is another kind DIVX, XVID, MPEG, H264 are the codecs to create it. I was able to convert a WMV file to an DIVX encoded AVI, which worked. I used Virtualdub 1.16.9.2mpeg2 to do this, but SUPER should work as well. Quote my photobucket my blog my DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Glitch Report: When you cancel the import (closing plug-in window) your plug-in will still load the first frame of the .avi file even if another frame is selected when cancelling. To try and get around this error you should consider incorporating a "Cancel" button in the plug-in interface that will actually stop the importer from loading the first frame.

The API forces me to return a document and I have no access to the old one. Maybe I should get it to load the right frame when the window closes?

MiguelPereira Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Okay back with it, your plugin is way to intrusive and even after removing it from effects and restarting Paint.Net the problems in the save files configuration would happen, so please fix this I want to be able to save my projects and this is just stalling me Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean file types? And there are two files: AviFile.dll and AVIImport.dll. Have you removed both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yes to both, and still I can save things properly, sorry but i can't use it like this Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yes to both, and still I can save things properly, sorry but i can't use it like this Try cutting and pasting all plugins to another folder and seeing if it works - then moving them back one by one.

Geoff Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The odd thing is i have all of the other file type plug-ins mentioned on previous pages installed and i am not currently experiencing any problems at all due to conflicting file types. MiguelPereira, just out of interest what additional file-type plug-ins do you have. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 pretty much everyone on the forums that haven't been integrated with PdN main ones, and even those i think i haave still one or 2 Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 pretty much everyone on the forums that haven't been integrated with PdN main ones, and even those i think i haave still one or 2 Your going to have to give a bit more detail than that. Preferably go to your file type folder and post a screen shot with the icon view as "tile". Then we will be able to see the file names and version of the plug-in Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman's Friend Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 File Types folder: Save as: Don't Know - but in this version I did what you suggested and put in a blank "Save As" function. What I meant was to implement a visible Save as entry which actually saves something (a dummy file). This might fix the bug. Open: .Net Framework folder: System: Now I wonder if it can be fixed this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
