that isn't also a Lovecraftian security disaster waiting to happen. </p> <p> 聽 </p> <p> The problem with adding the ability to install/load plugins via OneDrive is that a remote attacker/hacker who got control of your OneDrive account could literally push malware onto your system. No need to get access to your physical system, they could be anywhere in the world. So, this definitely can't be enabled by default. </p> <p> 聽 </p> <p> Here's what I'm implementing for 4.3, which involves 2 registry keys (there's no UI for this): </p> <ol><li> Set <strong>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ paint.net \ "Plugins/AllowAdditionalPluginDirectoryRoots"</strong> (without the quotes) to聽<strong>true</strong> (as a string / REG_SZ). </li> <li> Set聽<strong>HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ paint.net \ "Plugins/AdditionalPluginDirectoryRoots"</strong>聽to a semicolon-delimited list of directories (just like setting PATH). Within those directories you can then create the usual subdirectories of聽FileTypes, Effects, and Shapes. You can use environment variables here, so聽something like聽<strong>%OneDrive%\Documents\paint.net Plugins</strong>聽is perfectly valid. </li> </ol><p> Having the enablement of this tucked behind a registry key that requires administrator privilege helps ensure that local malware can't enable a remote attacker to have the ability to push code to your system. </p> <p> 聽 </p> <p> The portable version of the app can't participate in this, as it has no notion of a SystemWide settings hive (JSON file), but that's okay because you can just package your plugins next to the app itself.聽 </p>

So, this definitely can\u0027t be enabled by default.\n \n\n\n\t\u00a0\n \n\n\n\tHere\u0027s what I\u0027m implementing for 4.3, which involves 2 registry keys (there\u0027s no UI for this):\n \n\n\n\t\tSet HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ Software \\ paint.net \\ \"Plugins/AllowAdditionalPluginDirectoryRoots\" (without the quotes) to\u00a0true (as a string / REG_SZ).\n\t \n\t\n\t\tSet\u00a0HKEY_CURRENT_USER \\ Software \\ paint.net \\ \"Plugins/AdditionalPluginDirectoryRoots\"\u00a0to a semicolon-delimited list of directories (just like setting PATH). Within those directories you can then create the usual subdirectories of\u00a0FileTypes, Effects, and Shapes. You can use environment variables here, so\u00a0something like\u00a0%OneDrive%\\Documents\\paint.net Plugins\u00a0is perfectly valid.\n\t \n\n\tHaving the enablement of this tucked behind a registry key that requires administrator privilege helps ensure that local malware can\u0027t enable a remote attacker to have the ability to push code to your system.\n \n\n\n\t\u00a0\n \n\n\n\tThe portable version of the app can\u0027t participate in this, as it has no notion of a SystemWide settings hive (JSON file), but that\u0027s okay because you can just package your plugins next to the app itself.\u00a0\n \n", "upvoteCount": 1 }, { "@type": "Comment", "@id": "https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/118583-feature-request-set-custom-app-files-plugins-folder/#comment-586020", "url": "https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/118583-feature-request-set-custom-app-files-plugins-folder/#comment-586020", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rick Brewster", "image": "//media.invisioncic.com/r125076/monthly_2023_03/centeredPDN.thumb.png.3b0fb62cbbb3700ecfc2ebe3469b7e37.png", "url": "https://forums.getpaint.net/profile/44714-rick-brewster/" }, "dateCreated": "2021-09-03T04:10:57+0000", "text": "I just published a new alpha of 4.3 which has this functionality.
