Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR can't find the qidf file I just created.

You really must open QTR ins "Administrator Mode". (Right click on icon and click Run in Administrator Mode from pop-up list).
While QTR itself appears to run well in User Mode, Curve Creator has all sorts of conflicts with Windows security in User Mode. The net result being that, after getting a number (I counted 4) of different error messages, Curve Creator does not actually create the .quad file it needs UNLESS you are in Administrator Mode. (Admin Mode does not correct the program's inability to display the curve in Win 8).
One more thing... I discovered that I could edit the .gidf file in WordPad (easier for me because the Curve Creator interface makes NO sense to me even after reading all the HELP screens several times). BUT because of Windows Security I had to first remove the "write only" attribute from the entire "bin" sub-folder in the QTR folder (navigate to the folder; right click on it, open Properties; deselect the "Read-Only" radio button; click OK or Apply; select "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files"; click OK; close the folder Properties window). Once you have done so you MAY be able to save your Curves directly into the "bin" folder. If you cannot, save the Curve to the Desktop, then drag the file into the "bin" folder. You will be asked to confirm you have admin permissions. (I really do hope that Win10 has less of this security crap in it.)
Maybe this will save someone else from having to discover it on their own.
