Solved it

In the properties for the Desktop Shortcut, I need to set the target:     
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Qimage\Qimage.exe" "E:\Qimage\save\R2400-A4.prt"


Works as expected.  For those of you who save printer set-ups for different printers and papers and haven't tried this, copy and paste the Qimage shortcut to your desktop.  rename as needed.  Right click and select Properties.  Change the target as above for Vista and Windows 7. 

For Windows XP change as below:
 
 "C:\Program Files\Qimage\Qimage.exe" "E:\Qimage\save\R2400-A4.prt"

In my case the Qimage saved setting are on my E: drive and the you need to change the printer name to whatever you call yours.  For me, in this example, it's an Epson R2400, A4 paper size.

Good luck.

Hi Fred - Happy Christmas.

I have saved my printer profiles and sizes, dozens of them.  What I had were Qimage Desktop Shortcuts with the properties set some thing like "C:\Program Files\Qimage\Qimage.exe -p e:\qimage\save\R2400_A4.prt".  When clicked this started QI with that particular printer setup. 

Unfortunately, the above doesn't work and I just can't remember the syntax to get the shortcuts set up again

Aggh!  I have reloaded my PC and forgot to save my QI shortcuts.  I had a shortcut for each printer-size setup.
Can some kind soul please refresh my memory how to set up the short cut or direct me to the correct help documentation?
Thanks

If you're using CS4 and Bridge, you can drag Bridge thumbnails directly into Qimage or even drop them into the QI icon.
You can even set up a shortcut to Qimage to link to different printer profiles.  I have an icon for my favourite printer and parer sizes - I simply drag the Bridge thumbnail(s) onto the appriate icon - works great!

Don't know about Lightroom, but from Adobe Bridge I simply click and drag the thumbnails from Bridge into Qimage. Brilliant!  Couldn't be easier!
Hope this works for you

Hi all
Nice to see the forum up and running - it's sure to be a big improvement over Yahoo groups.   Now, down to business...

I'm running Qstudio 2009.265 on Vista.  I recalled a print job from the Job Log and opened the entire job rather than just the setting.  I immediately got 43 (I counted them) Qstudio error pop-ups with the message 'Control '' has no parent'.  I wasn't able to close or cancel these, so into task manager and killed Qimage. This isn't a major problem for me but happens often enough to be annoying and I can see no pattern to it yet.  Recalling the same job doesn't cause the error every time.
