Need option for importing vector text with Editable Text plugin

description

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.

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:
