QTR-Quadtone RIP

If you still have the bad INI file I sure would like to look at it.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Problem with System Icons on 2.5.1.2

Well, I have finally solved the problem (sort of), so just in case anybody
else encounters it, here is the fix.

I now have installed 2.5.1.8, and the same problem occurred as in my
original post: the four little system icons didn't work. I have lived with
that, since I could exit via the file menu.

So recently I decided to reinstall and see what would happen. Still broken,
but my preferences (curve blending, etc.) were intact. So I wne looking for
preference files, and finally found the file "QTRgui.ini" in C:\Documents
and Settings\...\Application Data\QuadToneRIP. So I moved that file to a
different location as a backup and then reinstalled 2.5.1.8 again. As
expected, my preferences were gone, but (Halleluya!!!) the system icons now
worked.

So next, I carefully edited the new QTRgui.ini (in NotePad) to add in only
those lines that clearly specified my preferences. This worked, and I now
have my preferences back, too.

Clearly something in the ".ini" file was screwing up the gui, but I can't
tell exactly what. But in general, backing up and moving an ".ini" file
before reinstalling is a good thing to try if you have weird behavior. I
should have tried this earlier, but I had forgotten similar occurrences with
other software in the past.

So now I am once again a completely happy camper with QuadToneRIP (which is
printing away even as I write this.)
