Paint.net Protable - Where to put plugins?

Submitted by sl23 on April 27, 2025 - 7:33am

Hi, thanks for all your work on this and the whole platform.

One thing I often have trouble with is that when apps have the ability to add plugins, there's no info on how or where to install them. I think this info should be added to the apps download page.

Where exactly do I put all my Paint.net plugins folders "Effects" and "FileTypes"? I've tried everywhere within the root and all created sub-folders of "Data" but nothing works. Are plugins even supported?

Thanks

NAPS2 7.5.3 - OCR error

Submitted by JonBoy on April 5, 2025 - 1:58pm

Win10Pro 22H2 64-bit; NET (full & client) 4.8.09037; PAC 30.0.2; '64-Bit Only' = Auto; 'Include 32-Bit Support' = Auto.
'English' selected as ocr language and downloaded.

Whether or not ocr is conducted pre-emptively I always see a File Not Found error for a temporary .hocr file when ocr attempted.

Example filename: D:\PortableApps\NAPS2Portable\App\NAPS2\Data\temp\oj2ozgxl.blc.hocr so not extravagantly deep.

That 'temp' directory exists when NAPS2 is running but contains only a .jpg file when ocr is attempted.

Paint.Net portable will run on 32 bit Windows 7 or not?

On your Paint.Net download page, it says that Paint.Net 5.0.13 requires Windows x64.

However in the system requirements section, it suggests that it will work with Windows 7 (with platform update).

System Requirements: Windows 10, 11 (64-bit Only)
(Windows 7 [with Platform Update], 8.1, 10 (32-bit): 4.3.12)
App License: Freeware (Personal and Business Use)

[Fixed] XnView MP some settings not moved

Submitted by Nalea on August 18, 2024 - 3:52pm

Hi, i'm testing PortableApps.com Platform for the first time and found something weird with XnView MP.

It looks like the portableapps edition only looks for

Thumb.db
XnView.db
xnview.ini

These files are getting moved between \XnViewMPPortable\Data and \XnViewMPPortable\App\XnViewMP64 when the application starts

But when you make more changes to XnView MP there are 3 more files where settings are saved

bookmark.ini
default.keys
default.bar
