Parameters tuning
This section explains how to manually reach and tune some QLC+ parameters not reachable
from the UI.
Keep in mind that if you cannot change them from the UI it means there is a good reason.
Warning: DO NOT edit the configuration files manually
unless you know what you're doing. Any misplaced change
can cause program crashes or awkward instability.
1 QLC+ configuration location
Linux
Configuration files are located in your user $HOME directory, in the .config/qlcplus folder.
Here's the quick command to access it from a terminal:
cd $HOME/.config/qlcplus
You will find both QLC+ and Fixture editor configuration files.
Windows
Configuration parameters are stored in the Windows registry.
To access it, run the "regedit" tool and search for the key named "qlcplus".
Mac OSX
Configuration files are located in your user $HOME directory, in the Library/Preferences folder.
Here's the quick command to access it from a terminal:
cd $HOME/Library/Preferences
QLC+ configuration file is called net.sf.Q Light Controller Plus.plist while the Fixture editor
configuration file is called net.sf.Fixture Definition Editor.plist.
2 Configuration Reset
Sometimes it might be necessary to reset QLC+ configuration and bring QLC+ to a "Factory
defaults" state.
To do so, locate the configuration as explained in the first paragraph, then do the following:
On Linux and OSX use the rm 'filename' command to delete the configuration file
On Windows delete the whole 'qlcplus' KEY using regedit
3 Parameters syntax
Due to Qt diversity on different platforms, parameters are stored in different ways depending on
your Operating System.
Linux
Parameters are stored in a plain text file that you can modify with a plain text editor like gedit,
kwrite, kate, nano, vim or similar. They are presented as follows:
[category]
