Hi. I have created some new fixtures, but Qlc+ dont recogize /load the fixtures. (Windows 7 Danish language). I suspect that the language is the problem, because the "Users" folder is translated. I have succesfully located and loaded the fixtures at my mac computer with some tweak because MacOS too, are using hidden user/support folders, and that s not a strait procedure as well. But Windows same problem, and im stuck! It would be a lot easy if the fixture folder was located more "open" and available.
Any hints to make QLC+ look the right place?

The related code is here: https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/b ... e.cpp#L225
The User dir is fetched from environment variable UserProfile. Check its contents (echo %USERPROFILE%) and adjust it if needed... I don't know what happens to windows if you change it...
