Re: QTRgui and windows 10

2016-10-19 by dtrout@...

Found this topic while searching for some background on QTR and Windows 10. I have been using QTR for various printer maintenance tasks (on a 10 ink 7900) using both Windows 7 and Windows 10. I'm now considering a more serious commitment to QTR for B&W printing and I am concerned about the current state of (non) development for QTRgui. And of course, we also have the fact that Mac has a really nice Print Tool utility that doesn't exist on the Windows platform.

I know that QTRgui was originally developed by a separate contributor. And as far as I know, there is no plan from that developer to do any further work on the gui code. If anyone knows different, please comment. Right now, we know that the Curve Creator does not fully function, and there are also some other gremlins that seem to have workarounds (for now). I know that the printing part works, but how long will that be the case? I think we have been lucky so far that the original QTRgui has lasted this long without major need for updates.

Roy, I see in the above conversation that you mentioned looking to get some programming help to update the Windows QTR components. Can you provide any update on this? If it were me, I'd look to get help with a major overhaul of the UI, even if there are only a few "bugs" which need to be fixed. Get rid of all the skins stuff and just build a really clean, complete, easy to see and use interface. (High on my wish list would be ability to change font size in the UI :-). But my main concern is the future viability of QTR as a B&W printing system on the Windows platform.

Thanks.
