⚠️ The last release contains a version of System.Drawing.Common.dll which contained a security vulnerability. I tried upgrading, but I have not done .NET stuff in a long time and running into weird errors. So past releases have been removed and project has been archived.

BlpFiletype

This is a Paint.NET filetype plugin for loading (not saving) BLP images as used by several Blizzard games (e.g. World of Warcraft)

The plugin is just a tiny wrapper around the excellent SereniaBLPLib which does the actual BLP file reading. SereniaBLPLib is available under the MIT license at https://github.com/WoW-Tools/SereniaBLPLib

To install the plugin perform the following steps:

• Put the DLL in the <Paint.NET>/FileTypes directory (default location is C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes)
• Restart Paint.NET if you have it open
