I am sorry, but I get confused. I downloaded, and went to: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2023 as noted, but there was a 404 error message.
Can you help me?
I really appreciate all the work that everyone does to help me. I am working on my site which will benefit my grandson, who is autistic. My daughter and son-in-law have lost nearly everything since the diagnosis and I want to help.
Thanks to all who do such good work.

The Printer+ preview window shows and prints a blank page. I’m not sure if I did the install right since it doesn’t say how in the readme file and the message post it references is gone (404 error).

Still can’t print images in original size (scale 1:1). Can you adapt Vista or W7 Paint interface for Page Setup?
February 15, 2011 at 6:04 pm

I am unable to copy inot my effects folder. Am I using the wrong link?
March 31, 2011 at 4:48 am
This is insane, exactly what I need!
Thanks!
April 7, 2011 at 10:51 pm
I need a winZip in order to open this… :C
April 8, 2011 at 1:14 pm
@darn: If your version of Windows is recent enough to run Paint.NET, it can open ZIP files without any other software. Alternatively, you could use 7-zip.
April 11, 2011 at 10:03 pm
Thanks for the plugin, I am using Paint.NET v.3.5.8 and when I try to save the animated gif I get an “unspecified error”. The original animated gif (I am basically changing color of frames) is open fine, but I can not save the image as .agif.
April 12, 2011 at 11:19 pm
This is amazing, thanks!

Where do i find the animation plugin? (I downloaded and installed)
May 4, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Great work, useful, well done. Thank you very much.
May 12, 2011 at 12:10 pm
This helped SO much! I went through all the trouble just to find an animating program, but then my friend told me about this! Thank you!
June 7, 2011 at 6:49 am
Superb work. Thank you very much. Seems to be working fine!
June 9, 2011 at 3:29 pm
OH MAAAAN! You are the freaking BEST! Brilliant!
June 10, 2011 at 3:22 am
Thanks heaps.
Can you please let me know is there a way to very the .gif as you are builting it? As in run through the frames are desired rate without having to save a test every time
thanks Alex
June 13, 2011 at 1:31 am
There’s no APNG plugin inside the FileTypes folder?
June 13, 2011 at 1:32 am
@Rageface: It’s called AnimGIF.dll because it used to only do animated GIFs.
June 28, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Nice work
July 18, 2011 at 6:23 pm
I don’t have that thing in the 6th step D:
July 18, 2011 at 6:56 pm
@Pichu35555vr: It’s called “find target” in XP. I should probably change the instructions based on browser and OS.
July 21, 2011 at 4:19 pm
I got this error on opening MiniBrushes.

Pierre: Click help -> check for updates.
Also, you only need to post your question once.
August 19, 2011 at 8:28 pm
Had a hard time getting it to paste but finally got it. Thank you.
August 31, 2011 at 9:08 pm
thanks ,simon, for this great plug-in. best feature is “That other app…”: finally you can use the classic brush (with paint).
September 13, 2011 at 7:00 pm
It keeps deleting the background after I edit the text, and continue. Why?
December 10, 2011 at 11:53 pm
How do I use That Other App? What’s it for?
December 10, 2011 at 11:58 pm
One more question, I can save AGIF just fine, but how can I open them?
December 18, 2011 at 5:35 pm
@tomy Just rename them from .agif to .gif and use them anyhow you like.
December 18, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Simon, thanks a lot. Great work. God bless you!
December 20, 2011 at 12:50 am
@Brick I know how to save, but I can’t open agif files and if I name them as .gif and open them Paint.NET renders them as non-animated.
January 5, 2012 at 2:52 pm
wow thank you a lot…
January 5, 2012 at 7:55 pm
I have a strange problem when using it with paint.net v3.5.10
When saving the .agif file the background (which while editing was transparent) is set to black.
Any idea what could cause this?
