FileType Plugin Template v2.0

[Simon Brown 43]

To help you create a filetype plugin - I have created a template to use in visual studio. It is attached (remember not to unzip it).

Use at your own risk.

Paint.NET FileType.zip

You'll get comments when someone uses it. Effect plugins don't get written every day, y'know, and FileType plugins are even rarer. Rarer... that's hard to say.

QFT. I haven't downloaded a filetype plugin since OptiPNG. And it's mostly because there hasn't been one since OptiPNG. :-)

I'm working on one at the moment. In the end probably most of my plugins will be filetypes.

I have just written an article on creating Paint.NET filetype plugins here if that helps.

Thanks for this. I'm looking to make a plugin so that Paint can work with and reproduce Lithtech .dtx files

I know this template is really old, just wondering if the file plugins have changed in the mean time. I tried building this plugin and it doesn't load, and neither does an older icon plugin I had. Paint.Net doesn't report any plugin load errors.

Check if target framework is set to .Net Framework 3.5.in the project properties.

Code needs update for VS2012, but is a great start.
