Ok, my mistake.
Upgraded to Mavericks and tried the multi-sampling preferences again (with high
expectations), obviously to no effect.
QC does not open anymore, it crashes on startup. Of course.
But now this is getting ridiculous, I can’t delete the editor preferences for
real, because it recreates itself exactly in the same state it was before
deletion.
What gives?
I can open the qc editor prefs file, edit the keys and try to turn the
multi-sampling key to <false>, save, open QC and watch the file edit itself
under my eyes back to <true>. Maddening.
Please, please help me find the ghost data, i need to clean this for good!
Thanks,
dimitri
ps. Here’s the die hard culprit part in the qc editor prefs file:
...
<key>NSWindow Frame DTAssetLibrary</key>
<string>0 630 298 548 0 0 1920 1178 </string>
<key>NSWindow Frame GFGraphEditorInspector</key>
<string>1543 305 300 446 0 0 1920 1178 </string>
<key>disableSavelessDocuments</key>
<true/>
<key>firstLaunch-2</key>
<false/>
<key>inspectorVisible</key>
<false/>
<key>multisampling</key>
<true/>
<key>patcheratorVisible</key>
<false/>
<key>uncleanShutdown</key>
<integer>29</integer>
