Strange here... I ran the installer and it placed the files in

 

"%UserProfile%\Documents\paint.net App Files\Effects" (I have "D:\My Stuff - Docs etc\Documents" as Documents)

 

Not in "%ProgramFiles%\paint.net\effects"

 

Yet they do show up in Plugin Browser   --- ???????

 

PS. Using 4.3.7 NOT store version

The classic version of paint.net will search both %ProgramFiles%\paint.net\Effects and %UserProfile%\Documents\paint.net App Files\Effects, unless an Administrator has disabled the paint.net App Files folder for security reasons.

The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait

I sorta figured that, but could not find reference to it. Many thanks for your prompt reply.

 

Best regards

Hi @nyx can you tell us which version of paint.net you are using please.  You do need to have the latest version, which is 4.3.10

I just released version 4.3.3.

 

Drop Shadow has been completely rewritten for this release. It is again a lot faster than previous versions.

Some other effects have minor performance improvements as well.

 

Enjoy!

@TheBish Welcome to the forum. 

 

Update your Paint.NET to the latest version. You're on 4.3.10 which is now incompatible with the latest plugin pack. 

 Oh man what a first impression. Thought I was on the latest. Working great! Thank you for the quick support!!

@KrisVDM I tried running the installer and windows 11 won't let me ???

Yep, it's very common for virus software to warn of a problem with some Plugin downloads.  Glad you got it in the end :)

If I accidentally closed the drop shadow window to edit the shadow, how do I get back the window?

 

Go back to Object > Drop Shadow.

Do these plugins work for 5.0 and above?

Read the first post. The version of the program is indicated there.
Install and test. Report the result. It's better than a question.

Reread it, they don't explicitly say whether it does or doesn't. But still, worth a shot.

My guess is it will have a fair bit of issues compared to stable, but don't take that as absolute truth. After all, it's just a hypothesis.

I want to test it in Pinta under Linux to see if it works there.

 

Plugins built Paint.NET for cannot be used in Pinta. The two applications have different plugin systems.
