Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Make sure you have the latest version of both Drop Shadow and Scriptlab. If the problem persists, post your problem in the Scriptlab thread....

Norsewind Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Had to make an account just to thank you for these plugins, just the drop shadow alone has saved me tons of headache with editing pictures ^^ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardpearce11 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 To be honest .. I actually stopped using paint.net a while ago primarily due to the fact it did not have an easy object align or drop shadow feature, two things I really relied on with the project I was then involved in. I was still learning back then...didn't even know you could download plugins. I thought i'd recently give it another whirl to see if anythings changed.. Gotta say im impressed with what this guys offering 'for free' .. and i'm back to using it again on a regular basis. Good job and thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosSkywalker Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Does the download link on the first page have the updated version? http://users.telenet.be/krisvandermotten/Downloads/PaintDotNetEffects.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hi @RoosSkywalker That pack has not been updated for the newer versions of Paint. Last update to the pack was 2010. Fortunately all the effects still work in Paint 4.17 And yes - you can trust the link. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanityOnABun Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The installer for this pack is not compatible with the Windows Store version. Does anyone have the DLLs separately? Need to know what plugin folders (Effects, FileTypes, Shapes) each go in as well. I'd ask the developer directly but due to the pack not being updated in over 7 years, I'm gonna guess he's not entirely interested in this any more.

Djisves Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 A workaround for plugin installers that do not work with the Windows Store version is: 1. (If they do not already exist) Create two folders, one named "Effects" and one named "FileTypes", in the main "paint.net" folder, usually like "C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects" and "C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes". 2. Download and run the plugin installer. 3. Follow the instructions in the second yellow "Note" at https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html 4. Cut and paste the files installed in the folders in step 1 into the folders created in step 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating the folders under "Program Files" (both x86 and x64, separately and together) causes the installer to immediately crash when run. I do not want to have to install the non-Windows Store version of paint.net as I do not want to potentially cause conflicts from the install and eventual uninstall process. I've dug through the .exe and .dll in the zip folder that's downloaded, but can't find the effect .dll's in the a usable format.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I've added a second download option to the first post. Now you can download a zipped pack of DLLs for manual installation with the Store version of paint.net. You will need to Download the zipped DLL package (click the big gray button) Extract the DLLs to the folder /Documents*/paint.net App Files/Effects/ Restart paint.net * the name of this folder may be translated to your system language 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Registry keys and / or config files both versions use that the installer may overwrite to default, the same that the uninstaller may clean up, stuff like that. I work in IT, I've learned to expect things like that. Not interested in getting a VM environment set up and a new VM spun up just to get some dll's. That seems a bit excessive. And besides, attention is going to be brought to this one way or another as more extension installers are found that don't recognize the store version.

RookieTeam Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 So First things first: It worked before alright, but when I do it now it breaks Explenation: I use one of his effects and then try to load it and then the whole paint.net crashes for no reason, With other of his plugins too, oh and It doesnt say any plugin error. Also i am using the free version And Its probably because of many plugins but what do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanosMassias Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I don't know if Kris Vandermotten is still actively working on his plugins but I'd like to suggest adding the option to select which side(s) one wants to face in his Fade Edge plugin (for example, I might want to fade just the top and right sides).

Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Hello & welcome to the forum @doubleo20 Drop Shadow can be found under the Effects > Object submenu. Did you look there?
