True fact. Closed source is what losers do. Let it sink in. You made a launcher for open source source engines to use, but don’t pack a man’s a penis so it closed source. Yeah, I went there. This message brought to you by Budweiser. Sure other people are boycotting Budweiser because of some weirdo, but I have an ad blocker and cancelled cable due to commercials in 2008 before everyone else figured out cord cutting – so how do I finish this sentence – well if you read this far, I impressed. (Budweiser beer sucks, but this one has tomato and lime so I like it.) ---

Sheesh… How much Budweiser did you have to get into that destructive mood ☹ Please don’t post offensive flaming like that. Get a blog or fediverse account, a pillow to shout into or something. You are appreciated but not like that. motorboy: While I share a strong aversion towards closed-source mentality, I am sure that many highly appreciate your project and I am one if them. ---

Spirit, you have my respect now and forever. Fortunately, despite our differences I know you value free speech as much I do. Closed source for this is simply wrong. Zero Budweiser or a million does not change the truth of the matter in this case. This is wrong and should not be supported. I will not comment further in this thread. I wish the author best of luck and perhaps he will understand the error of his ways, this is his own personal challenge with Jesus and whether or not Jesus is persuaded by his actions in this work is not my buisiness. ---

Nothing wrong with arguing but personally insulting people (“loser”) is not. This isn’t a platform for “free speech” and it is not ok to be a dick to someone else. ---

Added source code for downloading. QMLauncher v1.5.2. I implemented everything that I planned. Maybe someone wants to add something else. Or port to Linux or OS X . The launcher is written in Purebasic v6.0 [https://www.purebasic.com/](https://www.purebasic.com/) ---

v1.5.3 Fixed bugs: Sometimes when playing music, the playback of the next track did not turn on. The names of the archives from which the mod was installed were not saved correctly. Fixed freezing when playing music if there is only one track in the selected folder. Fixed a few more found bugs. Updated download links for launcher and source code. ---

v1.5.4 Fixed: If the user did not manually select the mod folder when adding the mod to the main window, the cover of the added mod was saved in the root folder of the game. Memory leak when selecting covers in the add-edit window of the mod. Friezes when loading large music files. Fixed a few more found bugs + optimization. Updated download links. ---

Another excellent utility that I prefer over Simple Quake Launcher because I can get it to recognize ALL my mods, not just a few, and again I hope the author continues to develop it. Request: resizable windows/columns. On my 4K desktop the main window is a little small but not too bad. I use this and the author’s other utility QuaddictedTool v1.1 and find them both very useful in organizing my Quake mods using Ironwail. ---

Thanks for the positive feedback. The interface of the launcher is automatically scaled according to the DPI of the desktop. To make the window bigger you need to increase the DPI. Unfortunately I don’t have a 2k or 4K monitor to test launcher. Although the idea is interesting, maybe I’ll try to implement interface scaling. If possible, post a screenshot of the desktop with the launcher running, I want to see how it looks in 4K monitor. ---

With resizing the window and gadgets, I can’t do anything yet. Lack of knowledge in programming. Have you changed the fonts used in the launcher? Or does it look like this by default? What version of Windows? 10 or 11 ? ---

What version of Windows? 10 or 11 ?[/quote] I increased the font size for my desktop and apps that are affected (i.e. Windows Explorer) in the Windows 10 Ease of Access menu to 133%. My Windows Scale and Layout setting is 250% at 4K. I’m using an LG 65" OLED TV for my monitor. ---

Now it’s clear why the fonts are not displayed, as I planned, apparently in the PureBasic which this utility is written, the scaling is not fully implemented. ---

I think once you increase your programming skills and combine the two apps and make resizing windows/columns this may well become the preferred Quake Launcher/downloader in the community. I find it useful as a frontend to launch my mods though now that I have so many I have to scroll down to see them all in the list, an issue resizable windows would solve, I think. ---

v1.5.5 Added the ability to create shortcuts on the desktop and in the game folder. The size of the search and sort windows has been slightly increased. Several minor fixes. Updated download links. ---
