pintaproject/nightvisioneffect

A simple effect that will recolour an image to look like it was taken with a night vision camera.

nightvisioneffect's Issues

Create a custom icon for the effect.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1198593 - once we figure out how to do so, we should provide an example of adding a custom icon for an effect.

Add a GUI with adjustments

We should be able to adjust the "greenness" and any other new elements we add.

Hook into other effects

When the core effects are available, we should hook into them for stuff like adding noise to make the image more grainy.

The EffectData properties should also be translatable.

Currently, the labels for Brightness and Noise in the dialog are translatable, but that's only because they happen to be in Pinta's translation template. For other effects, people will likely run into trouble.

Right now, Pinta automatically generates a string from the property name (e.g. BrushSize becomes "Brush Size") and then uses Catalog.GetString to translate it. In addition to causing issues with Pinta's translation template (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1191928) this will also be a problem with addins since they should have their own translations.

There is a Caption attribute that a few effects use to manually specify a string. However, since attribute values must be constant, you can't use Catalog.GetString or similar functions to do the translation. That's likely why things are they way they are currently.

We might be able to grab the AddinManager.CurrentLocalizer after finding the assembly of the effect, but I'm not sure yet if that's possible.
