QTR can find the qidf file I just created.

2015-07-21 by jp432r@...

I can't believe this actually is a new topic, but my search turned up nothing so I press on.

I am relatively new to QTR and am finding much of its interface quite baffling and mysterious.

I am using it on a PC. Nearly all of the tutorials I've found are for Macs.

Following instructions found in many places and using WordPad, I am editing and saving an existing qidf file under a new file name.

The first time I did this, the new file appeared in the Curve Setup pulldown.


I made addition tweaks and saved it again under a new name.

This second file does not appear in the pulldown.

What have I don wrong? How do I fix it?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

P.S.

The tutorial by Michael Reichmann includes this cryptic (to me) statement that might apply, but I can't figure out why or how to do whatever it is he's suggesting. Mostly because I don't know what a .acv curve is (I'm editing the qidf file, so perhaps it doesn't apply).

"18. From the Gray Curve tab in the QTR Curve Creator browse to the .acv curve and select. The following is why it's important for the curve to have been generated from a grayscale image: if it's not grayscale, you'll get a cryptic error message when you go to save the QTR Curve and the Curve Creation will fail."
