Currently I'm working on this. I'll release a new .NET 5 compatible version in a day or two.

Should be fixed with the latest release.

Another error:
`C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes\SvgFileType.dll, версии 1.0.3.0

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Svg, Version=3.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=12a0bac221edeae2'. Не удается найти указанный файл.
File name: 'Svg, Version=3.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=12a0bac221edeae2'
`

"Не удается найти указанный файл" = "File not found".

App version: 4.3 (α 4.300.7881.3082)
Runtime .NET 5.0.8 x64

For SVG project could only find old svg 0.5.2.0 library. With it, the program crashes when checking for plugin errors. You need to add the library to the archive.
Please use the folder in the archive so that the plugin and its additional library can be unpacked into their own folder and not depend on neighboring files.

Tried using svg.dll 3.2.3.36087 from JWL Helper. Then there is already a third party library error.

C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes\SvgFileType\Svg.dll, версии 3.2.0.0

Тип: System.Web.IHttpAsyncHandler
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Web.IHttpAsyncHandler' from assembly 'System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

I think that the plugin did not remove the library dependency check. Despite the presence of errors, the test file is loaded.

I see. I've used a new tool (Costura.Fody) to embed dependencies into the final binary. They should be dynamically loaded from resources and not the file system. You're right. Looks like it didn't remove the file system based dependency checking so it throws FileNotFoundException. I need to find a way to suppress this last error. Thanks for reporting. I'll prepare a hotfix in upcoming days.

Using ILSpy tool:
Official Svg.dll has ASP.NET (System.Web namespace) dependency. Using this dll was causing the previous type loading error when using .NET 5 based Paint.net. It looks like Svg.dll from JWL Helper also has it.

I've used customized Svg.dll.

You can download the ASP.NET dependency-free Svg.dll from here:

The specified file excludes the error. As a workaround, you can add the file to downloads (Releases section).

Fixed with the latest release and it's still single dll file.

If possible, I'd rather prefer it to be a single dll to keep things nice and clean or my OCD throws an unhandled exception 😄

[iDolmatov]

Solved.
Thanks for the work you've done.
