Re: QTRgui and windows 10

I'll do what I can...
Actually the thread ended sometime in November and I chimed in a bit late. One issue was as you noted, about the Curve Creator. For some reason, the quad file is indeed generated but it doesn't get saved in the quad folder because under some accounts in Win 10 the quad folder is locked. The quad file gets saved in the "Virtual Store" - which I had never heard of. However, no matter where they are stored, QTR finds them and lists them in File/Open, as you noted. The reason it gets stuck is that the file is not where QTR is used to seeing it - the little green circle keeps spinning but in fact the quad file is just fine, over in the Virtual Store. (Today my computer repair person fixed the regular quad folder by running my computer under another account so that folder now accepts new quad files as in the past.)
Along with that discussion, it turns out that although QTR is now up to version 2.7.0.0 but the GUI is only at 2.0.0 (or close to that). Roy continues to support the main print engine but the GUI developer apparently is no longer involved. Since some printers now use 10 carts, the GUI is therefore short on positions.
At that point, I commented that I thought you said, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that you are currently researching a cooler inkset using cyan or blue in the yellow cart position and, that it might be possible to use the Epson printer interface at some future date. Now, I've never used ICC's but it's my understanding that we'd then have to develop different ICC's to get different warms and cools with various inksets and papers - they would do the job that quad files now do in QTR. I apologized to Roy in advance, I didn't want him to think I don't appreciate QTR.
HTH,
Paul W.
