New Release of QTR for both Mac & PC -- 2.5.0 Epson 3800 & Split-tone sliders

qtrgui 2.5.0 - problem with dropdown box display

2007-02-09 by Howard Shaw

Thanks Roy, the new features look really good.

I'm having problems though with qtrgui (and therefore this is addressed 
more to Stephen)- after a short while using the program the dropdown 
boxes such as the paper size selector and the curve selectors don't 
display any items although you can see their outline. The "dynamic 
rolldown" also seems to  function erratically even if you untick it in 
options.

The only fix is to restart the program but after a couple of alterations 
the problems recur.

I'm using Win XP SP2.

Roy,

The new release looks great.  Thanks.

I am particularly pleased to see support for the Epson 3800.  However,
I see no curves for it as yet.  Also, the link to the "Calibration"
pdf on the QTR website appears to be broken.

thank you for the update.

on the immediate side, i especially appreciate that you've moved the options in Printer 
Features to QuadTone RIP. now everything is in view. i also appreciate that i can adjust, for 
example, Ink Limits in increments or decrements of one.

overall, i think the user interface is easier to follow.

thanks again.

sincerely,
daniel chow

I've only had limited access to 3800 so haven't any curves yet.  I hope to get
a few in the near future.

Fixed the pdf links.

Skip,

Sure, not a problem at all.   You'll just have two printer names.  QTR Profiles
are also per printer so they are totally separate.

Re: New Release of QTR for both Mac & PC -- 2.5.0 Epson 3800 & Split-tone sliders

2007-02-09 by Jeff Randall

Release notes indicate that: 

QTR-Create-ICC.exe
QTR-Create-ICC.RGB.exe
QTR-Linearize-Data.exe

should be version 2.5.0.0, but only 2.4.2.0 versions are installed.  
As a check, I deleted the 3 files and reinstalled QTR 2.5.0 with the 
same result. 

What did I mess up?

2007-02-09 by Roy Harrington

No, you didn't mess up.  I did.
Those were last minute updates that were just the version number
and a minor change -- no functionality difference.
Somehow they missed getting moved over.

I get that error every time I try to run it, and the machine I tried
is connected to a 7600.

2007-02-10 by Stephen Billard

Have you got "Minimize to System Tray" set? There seems to be some problems with
the controls I am using when QTRgui minimizes to the System Tray.

As for the Dynamic Rolldown. What happens when the option is unchecked? You
should have to click to roll down or roll up.

Oh darn, I fixed some of the max length paper sizes and some pro 
printer values
come out a decimal value.   The easy workaround is to edit the PPD file 
for
the printer -- see PPDs/Quad4800.ppd -- just take off the ".6" on the 
number.

I have uploaded a new QTRgui which will accept the more refined max length
parameters. No need to modify the PPDs.

Re: New Release of QTR for both Mac & PC -- 2.5.0 Epson 3800 & Split-tone sliders

2007-02-10 by Joost Horsten

Heey.. Thanks Roy!!

I immediately tried the 3 curves & split tone feature. That seems to 
work great! It will take some time to build up experience but this the 
type of UI that seems the logical one indeed. I was immedieately 
capable of refining some of my earlier split-tone and warm-selenium 
experiments further. I'm building some ideas for a workflow, but start 
another thread on that.

Great addition to QTR!

Re: [QuadtoneRIP] qtrgui 2.5.0 - problem with dropdown box display

2007-02-10 by Howard Shaw

Yes, "Minimize to System Tray" definitely has something to do with it as 
I don't get the missing dropdown box item problem if I untick this. 
(Another symptom of this problem is that the "Advanced Adjustments" 
adjustable areas also completely disappear on occasion).

I think the rolldown wackiness is just because the "hot" area triggering 
the expanding & disappearing of these areas is actually larger than just 
the arrow so an accidental click on a seemingly blank bit of the 
interface can trigger it. There are also extra hotspots such as the area 
level with "Curve Blending" that have no arrow.

One other little change is that Better/Faster has now become 
Bi-directional/Unidirectional. Am I correct in thinking that 
UniDirectional is the equivalent of the old "Better"?

Thanks
Howard

I have found that if I exercise all the controls before minimizing to the tray,
things seem to work. However, that is not a simple thing to do. Best is to not
minimize to the tray.

Yes, Unidirectional was the old Better. Roy changed the text for a few of the
parameters to be more descriptive of what is going on.

Check two things:

Is the image centered? If not it may be overlapping the printable space on one
margin.
Is the image scaled? If it is over 100% the image may not fit within the
printable margins.
