QTR-Quadtone RIP

Roy,

Sometimes I cause the problem by renaming profiles, but yes you are right
the main cause is where I am linearizing profiles myself and editing their
filenames.

The root of the issue is that the GUI accepts it just fine and the print
engine still prints. If either of those blocked it, as the curve creation
tool does,  I would just get a bit frustrated, but at least I wouldn't waste
paper and time.

That said I don't believe that a "space" is an illegal character in the
filenames of the OS that you currently support and to me that seems to be
the obvious defining point, not what happens in other OS current or in the
past. Its just much easier to visually parse profile names with spaces. Also
its a trivial change to make. I Googled 20 simple ways to do it with just
"windows file name checker" search.

I'm can't remember what the Curve creation tool does, but I think it can
