On load the plugin loads all frames from the file and adds them equally layers to a new Paint.NET document. Frame one will become the lesser layer and and then on. Some information from the file (like frame elapsing or comments) will be stored in the layer names after the marker '//'.

On save the plugin volition convert all layers to frames respecting the data found after the marker '//' in the layer names. The plugin does its best to reduce the size of the final file. The size depends on various settings.

History

  • 1.v [2021-11-sixteen]
    - Fixed a problems regarding the offset of sub frames (introduced in 0.13.2)
    - Added simple preview
  • 1.iv (half dozen.11.2021)
    - Created a new topic in the 'FileType Plugins' department (sometime topic is Animated Images)
    - Updated code to support paint.cyberspace 4.iii.2 (replaced obsolete and deprecated methods)
    - Shifted the version number from 0.thirteen to 1.iv
    - Prepared for time to come improvements

  • 0.13 (12.seven.2019)
    - Rick Brewster
    This plugin didn't work with Paint.NET 4.two because information technology used a form that's now
    flagged "internal". This has been fixed in v0.13.

  • 0.12 (17.viii.2015)
    - Fix to handle GIFs containing corrupted XMP metadata

  • 0.11 (6.iv.2015)
    - Added switch to create not-animated GIFs from flattened layers
    - Added support to load true color gifs (salvage is disabled, because about
    viewers are not able to view them right and Animated GIFs are not able to
    back up true color).
    - Added 'NoDups' command (default: true) and dialog option.

  • 0.ten (3.4.2015)
    - Added some initial options to the save dialog. These options volition be
    overridden if their related commands are used in the layer titles.

  • 0.9 (2.4.2015)
    - Added "Duplicate=N,M" command, which duplicates the last N frames sequence
    M times. M is optional with a default value of one.
    - Added optional origin coordinates to the sprite command. "sprite=Name,10,Y"
    - Added "DitherLevel=N" 0 <= North <= 8, default is 7.
    Dithering is used in depression color filetypes to avoid banding of colors.
    The advantage of dithering is a better quality of the last paradigm.
    The disadvantage is that the file size may increase.
    - Inverse the definition of background and foreground command a bit to let
    to switch off usage of a background and foreground and not just to replace it.
    - Declared the control names background, foreground, default, skip, and sprite
    as depreciated. The new names are:
    UseAsBackground, UseAsForeground, UseAsDefault, UseAsNote, UseAsSprite
    The prefix UseAs indicates that the layer will not create a new frame.
    - Northward fps (frames per second) is immune now to define the duration.

  • 0.8 (thirty.3.2015)
    - Removes duplicates (frames with the same content as the previous 1)
    by removing the frame and incrementing the duration of the previous frame.
    - Because some image hosters deliver html code in a gif file instead of an
    paradigm the filetype throws at present a more descriptive exception on load of a GIF:
    "File contains an HTML document but not a GIF image"
    - Added two commands which allow to animate sprites on frames
    "sprite=NAME" defines the layer content as a sprite with the name Proper name.
    A sprite layer can be drawn at any position in the layer stack.
    Sprite names are non case-sensitive and must be unique. Don't use
    whitespace or whatever delimiters in the names.
    "draw=Proper noun,X,Y" draws the sprite NAME to the frame generated from the current
    layer. X and Y are optional and define how much pixels the sprite should be
    moved (default: no move). Multiple 'draw' commands are allowed in a layer name.
    The sprite layer should be transparent because the content volition be composite
    on top of the electric current frame.

  • 0.7 (26.3.2015)
    - fixes an result on XP and some Win7 installations where cloning of the bitmaps
    provided by the layers will return the original ones. So the filetype
    may decadent the layer content in version 0.6.
    - added optional parameter to the 'reverse' command to define the number of
    frames to reverse.
    - added transition 'Blinds=D' (D may be hor or ver)
    - '://' sequences are allowed at present in comments because this sequence is needed
    for URLs (all other '//' sequences will be removed from comments considering
    they are used to get-go a control sequence in the layer names)

  • 0.half dozen (21.iii.2015)
    - New setting 'GIF'. Will be added to the first layer on load (but a hint for
    other tools nearly the source of the layers).
    - New setting 'reverse'. Adds all frames generated up to the electric current layer in
    reverse order to the animation (not including the commencement and the current frame)

  • 0.5 (17.iii.2015)
    - added 'default' setting. Non used past agif, has the same issue equally 'skip'
    - added transition=T,V,D comamnd to create boosted frames in-betwixt existing
    ones.

  • 0.iv (14.3.2015)
    - A bones quantization variant is working
    - maxcolors=N; may be used to reduce the colors, default is 256; minimum is 8
    - Added 'Animating in paint.net is easy.pdn' to demonstrate usage of background
    and foreground.

  • 0.3 (12.iii.2015)
    - First public test release
