FM filters crashing Paint.NET on Win11

[Nicholas]

I had a user report this with Mehidi's 64-bit filters, it also affects some of the 32-bit xero plugins and possibly others I don't know about. But I haven't been able to detect a pattern.

The trigger (or part of it) appears to have been sending the plugin last parameter data (FilterRecord parameters handle and/or the PsAPI 'data' handle) when it reshows its UI after being applied once. But the same data doesn't cause any issues when running without reshowing the UI. I don't know enough about FM's internals to be able to say what part of the global data could be causing the crash

Based on the UI angle and the stack traces of the debugger crash logs, I suspect that it may be a Win11 issue. I managed to duplicate similar bugs in older versions of PSFilterPdn and Paint.NET.

The fix in PSFilterPdn is forcing the filter to recreate its 'global' parameter data when reshowing the UI. This obviously will reset the UI to its defaults, but the plugin will load the correct parameter values from the Photoshop scripting data if it uses that.

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with other plugin hosts on Win11?

Do not loose your time with FM or similar software anymore, invest in AI related software development. Data science and Machine learning are now the most popular solutions, and FM cannot offer this anymore, it is somehow behind everything and old, so far it already is retired.

I do not deny that FM is outdated software, but does that mean it loses its interesting features? It works easily and you can create a new application in no time.

Not all filters require to transform a rainy holiday photo into a breathtaking paradise image via a prompt. Are you going to use AI for relatively simple image corrections to personal taste?

For specific applications, AI works via a large detour. Various software systems each have their own target area.
