QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks, Paul.  Not clear to me why QTR and Adobe both insist in storing
user-created files in a different location than software=supplied presets,
or why the default user-created folder has to be so far down a somewhat
arbitrary folder tree.  Also not clear why QTR reports, when you go to Curve
Creation > Files > Open that both the supplied and user-created curves are
in the same location, when in fact the user-created files are somewhere
else.  But I'm sure Roy and Thomas have their reasons, and I hardly know
enough about this to object.

I'm new to this QT RIP stuff, but I get the "I/O 32" error a lot with the current version, found it goes back to 2009 here too so still not addressed in 4 years.  The Windows 8 timer (wait) timer circle runs a long time too and won't stop until exiting.

I "thought" it might have something to do with Windows 8-64 so I set the program "Compatibility" to run as "Vista" instead of "Windows 8" thinking it might cure the I/O 32 error.

What I did find was that the *.qidi and *.quad files seemed to move around and not be found between the two "Run as" compatibility changes?  Odd the main GUI interface seems to lose them.  When I put it back into Windows 8 they were found again.
