Closed Issue: Fails to load files when a layer contains both a user mask and a vector mask [7979]

taoyue — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:39:18 GMT

When a layer has both a user mask and a vector mask, channel ID -3 is used to store the "real user supplied layer mask." The PSD plugin uses the mask rectangle for ID -2, but not for any other ID.

Because ID -3 is unrecognized, the wrong rectangle is used to load the channel's pixel data. If the dimensions are different, then the incorrect RLE header length is used. This then causes RLE decompression to fail.

Commented Issue: RleWriter inconsistency [7978]

While it appears to be perfectly valid, if you debug with the attached file, you'll notice that (in my case) the red channel decodes fine, but encodes with a different header to the original.
Comments: I think I got it. If a value is repeated only twice, its kept as a literal value because making it an rle packet would add an unnecessary header byte.

Closed Issue: Colorpicking from .psd-files [7977]

When I open a *.psd-file, colorpicking is no longer working. It picks white only?

Comments: Closing as No Repro. Color picker works fine with PSD files -- as it should, because the plugin is out of the picture once the file had been loaded in. You probably have the wrong layer selected. The color picker selects the color **from the currently active layer**, not from the composite image. Make sure you first select the layer containing the desired portion of the image, before using the color picker. In some cases, the desired color does not reside on a single layer, but is the result of combining many layers. In this case, you'd have to flatten the image first before using the color picker.

Closed Issue: Trying to open the Windows 8 templates [7976]

taoyue — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 04:52:15 GMT

There are some Windows 8 templates available for prototyping Win8 UIs. Available here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh700403

I cannot open them with the plugin in Paint.NET
Comments: The primary problem with these Windows 8 templates is caused by layer group visibility. Work item 7973 deals with the layer group visibility issue, and has already been committed to the source tree. Thus, this part is a Dupe. The other problem is that the layer effects won't load, because layer effects do not exist in Paint.NET. So, this part is a Won't Fix.

Commented Issue: LayerGroup displayed as layers, some layers displayed black [7975]

taoyue — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 05:04:18 GMT

Attached is a PSD file which have 2 problems when loaded using the plugin into paint.net
1) a lot of empty layers are created, whose names are "layergroup"
2) some layers appears fully black which is the wrong color

Comments: Issue (2) is a Won't Fix. Some layers in the file appear with fully-black background because they actually do have a fully-black background. The gradient is applied as a layer effect, which Paint.NET does not have. Thus, the gradient is lost and the original background is displayed. -- Issue (1) is caused by the fact that Paint.NET lacks a layer grouping feature, The empty layers cannot simply be deleted, as they correspond to the layer group start and close layers. The groups names may contain important semantic information. For example, the attached file leaves the default name for many of the layers ("Calque 29", "Calque 25"), but informative names are given to the layer groups ("Colonne droite," "Picto_actif"). But I agree that "</Layer Group>" could be confusing for non-technical users who are not used to seeing XML tags. Also, the starting group layers should be distinguished from the other layers. I think the best way to present it in the Paint.NET Layers palette would be something like: Layer Group: Colonne droite Calque 29 Layer Group: Product 1 Layer Group: Picto_actif Layer Group: 1 ... End Layer Group: 1 ... End Layer Group: Picto_actif ... End Layer Group: Product 1 ... End Layer Group: Colonne droite As Paint.NET wraps long layer names over multiple lines, I don't think anything will be gained by prepending spaces to indicate a layer's depth in the tree.

Closed Issue: Need option for importing vector text with Editable Text plugin [7974]

taoyue — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:01:29 GMT

I think the biggest drawback of this plugin is that text becomes rasterized when imported.

I propose a very simple solution: for PSD files containing text layers, a choice dialog should pop up where the user could specify whether they want to import the text layers as a layer compatible with the Editable Text plugin, or as a bitmap. This way everyone could choose which solution he/she likes the best.

Comments: The editable text plugin uses steganography to store the layer text in the image data. A clever hack, but still a hack. Were Paint.NET to implement the feature natively, then that would be a different matter. Also see discussion at the Paint.NET forums, starting at: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/18128-photoshop-psd-file-plugin-newest-version-200/page__st__80#entry375712

Closed Issue: Layers in a hidden group should not be visible [7973]

taoyue — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 02:48:50 GMT

When a layer group is hidden, the layers in the group should all be hidden.

Paint.NET does not have layer grouping, so the PSDPlugin flattens out the layer hierarchy. Layers are treated as independent, causing layers in a hidden layer group to be visible if their visibility is set to true. This should not be the case -- the invisibility of the layer group should be applied to all of the layers within it.

Screenshot is attached. The PSD file is the one in work item 7970.
Comments: Implemented layer grouping in revision 5e16d34ec924.

Commented Issue: Didn't open or sometime crash Paint.net 3.5.10 with 2.0 [7968]

taoyue — Sat, 05 May 2012 23:18:22 GMT

Paint.net was write: "Unknown error"!
Comments: In retrospect, this is probably the same bug that I finally tracked down for issue 7970. The layers containing the keyboard are small enough to trigger the race condition. The bug has been fixed in version 2.1.0 of the plugin, so please update when you get a chance.
