The Patch Set Editor isn't quite as buggy in Windows as it is on a Mac - albeit not a high bar. It pales in functionality to what GMB offered 15 years ago with the free ColorLab program. That was (and still is) a useful program.
Version 1.62 introduces a wonderful new feature when loading a previously saved measurement file. Yet another dialog appears prompting whether you want to save the file in the i1Profiler asset collection. Apparently X-Rite can't comprehend that one might be dealing with many measurements and not want to see each and every one in the list of assets.
I wish X-Rite would figure out what market segment i1Profiler/i1Publish targets. At $1200 and change, it will not be on the short list of must have items for most weekend warriors. More likely the majority of customers will use it on at least a semi-regular basis, generating many a measurement file in the process. Given that a measurement is simply a snapshot of how a device behaved at a particular time, there is limited utility in having multiple screens full of measurement assets readily at hand.
Add this to the list of annoyance dialogs one faces. There already was the "would you like to use the white point settings from the file that you selected to load?" prompt whenever a saved profile settings file is used. (That one is a beaut. If you manually change the settings in the Profile Settings using the sliders or bypass the pane entirely, the prompt never appears. What white point is used in then?)
It makes one wonder whether anyone who needs to make profiles on a regular basis for more than just supporting a hobby actually tests this mess.
