Swiftt Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Somehow plug-ins don't work for me D: I followed many step by step guides for downloading plug ins but when I try to save it in the Effects Folder (or whatever it's called) my computer tells me I don't have permission to save it there. Why would that be? o.O They're all .dll files too. And I have the latest version of Paint.Net (3.22??? I don't know exactly ^^') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Is paint.net running while you are saving it? Sometimes I have to close Paint.NET to install plugins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 If you are running Vista, that is the problem. Sometimes Vista has the gnack of forgetting you are the administrator and so regardless if you 'save' it in the program files/ paint.net/ effects directory it will place it in a different folder. You just have to find the folder and copy and paste. This happens to me a lot while using my laptop, hence the reason why I rarely use it nowadays.

You have unzipped it, havn't you? Edit: Were you trying to open the plugin with paint.net. If so, follow BoltBait's tutorial (stickied in plugin forum).

But, then, how would someone install it? :shock: BTW, we did do some talking about this a year ago: viewtopic.php?p=43764#p43764 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a dll is opened the path is passed to the exe which closes the paint.net process, uses reflection to determine the plugin type, installs the plugin and then launches pdn again.
