Re: QTRgui and windows 10

2015-12-11 by brian_downunda@...

Paul R's name was mentioned I think because Paul W interpreted a comment I made about QTRGui not fully supporting the x900 ten ink printers on Windows as implying that QTRGui could not support some of Paul R's new techniques (blue/cyan in the yellow position?) to neutralise the warmth of Eboni. It is my understanding that QTRGui supports anything that doesn't use any more than eight channels, regardless of what you put in those channels, including Paul R's inksets.

The problem with the ten ink printers is when you want to use the additional two slots and create or modify curves in QTRGui. The only real relevance of this issue is that it's simply an example of a point I was trying to make - about the limitations of QTRGui not being updated for a long time. I.e. don't expect QTRGui to be fixed for the issue in the next para.

The quotes below from Paul R are the only areas that I have found where QTR has issues in W10, i.e. I agree with him that otherwise it seems to work just fine. Which is the only point I was trying to make in this thread.

@Paul W: You did an upgrade, not a fresh install.

[My reference to moving to the "dark side" was a tongue-in-cheek remark about moving from Win to Mac.]

I loaded QTR on my wife's new Win 10 Dell. QTR works, but has a glitch in the Curve Creator. It will save, but the little spinning circle/busy cursor stays on -- until you go to the GUI and do a File>Open.

The Curve Creator works and will save a quad file, but it will not graph that file, and it gets stuck there. The File > Open shuts that off, however.
