Massimo,
It's more complicated than that.
I Redid the tests and I just to make it work.

on my powerbook intel OSX 10.6 + QLC 4.2.2 works, but QLC + 4.3 did not work.
I think that should look at the detection of the output interface.
the detection should be different, as the presentation varies.

on QLC + 4.2
I/O
DMX USB PRO (S/N: XXXXXXXXX) x out
the SN is SN of the dongle

QLC + 4.3
the situation is random
case 1
I/O
DMX USB in PRO x
DMX USB PRO out 1 x
DMX USB PRO out 2 x
the SN is 6AWEHYD7 has nothing to do with the dongle
Control Panel (keys a wrench and screwdriver) opened freeze QLC + 4.2 and crash QLC + 4.3

Multiple attempts after the presentation has been modified
case 2
I/O
DMX USB PRO out 0 x
the SN is 6AWEHYD7 has nothing do with the dongle... but it works now.

After several opening and closing, and reboot....it seems.
the opening of the control panel always crash software.

I'll be able to test the new features.
As soon as I find the time I'd test OSX 6.7

(In my previous post I explained that QLC + 4.2 or 4.3 do not work on an OS X 10.5.8 upgrade to 10.6. Need to install a new system for this to work and I sarcastically the hypothesis of a previously installed driver issue)

QLC + tests on OSX10.8 on mac mini dongle DMXking.
version 4.2 and 4.3 do not work
This is also a detection problem out. the S / N does not correspond to the dongle

Hi Massimo,
Here are the results of testing OSX10.8.2
QLCplus4.3.1 does not work on the mac mini (dongle DMXKING)

FYI, here are some screenshots.

Image 1: info I / O original
Afterforce as OpenTX, QLC crash.
image 2: info I / O after restart QLC, openTX is still valid.
image 3: info I / O on powerbook OSX10.6
Note: the dashboard to change Open TX, PRO, etc. is very likely. frezze or crash

Hello Patrick,
all the DMXking devices are recognized as DMX USB PRO (and not Open Tx as I said before, my mistake)
I suggest to reset your QLC+ configuration and do the tests again. You can find how to do it in the internal documentation or here: http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https:// ... ation.html

Forcing an output type should never be required.

Since I don't have the micro device, I am in contact with the DMXking team to perform a sort of QA on their devices, but lately they had some website issues, so I haven't received a full response yet.
I'll keep you posted.

I finally found the reason for my problems described above. On the occasion of my tests, I installed the driver FTDIUSBSerialDriver (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) on my macbook
It is this driver that prevented normal operation of QLCplus. Since I retired QLC works perfectly.
