Release Info / Qmod 17.6 released

« on: July 13, 2017, 02:34:21 pm »

Release info:

• Workaround: When the config window is resized it distorts the main window. It's a bug in a part of the GUI library(GLFW) which I didn't create and am not able to fix (yet). Now a redraw is done of the main window to recreate the main window.

Questions and Bugs / Windows Defender marks down qps.exe as a trojan

« on: December 08, 2016, 09:57:19 am »

Recently WindowsDefender marks qps.exe as a Trojan. It's not. It's just a little compiled vbs scipt I made that elevates the priority mode of the qmod process from normal to high. If you don't trust it just leave it out, Qmod runs in normal priority mode.

Questions and Bugs / Parametric equalizer not working in default setup

« on: December 08, 2016, 09:53:17 am »

After releasing 16.8 I noticed that the parametric equalize section didn't work in the default setting.
To solve this activate the stereo+ section and set m/s facor and low factor to zero.
The next update will correct this problem.
