Simplifies colour loading based on testing: reflective scan-target (CIE) files
and the experimental "stretch to fill the cube" option are removed.

🔧 Changed

  • Loading colours now accepts device-RGB files only — Argyll .ti1 / .ti2
    / .ti3 / CGATS and plain hex/RGB lists, in New chart, Add and the editor's
    Load chart. CIE reference files (XYZ/LAB) are no longer read: a reflective
    scan target's colours can't be turned into a full-range chart layout in a
    meaningful way, so the "Stretch colours to fill the RGB cube" option is
    gone
    too. A CIE file now shows a clear "not supported" message.
    • Want colours that span the whole RGB cube? Use Generate colour sets →
      3D cube / Saturated edges
      — those place patches at the cube's faces and
      corners by construction, which is exactly what stretching a scan target
      could never do.
  • Removed the editor's "Append from file…" button — it duplicated Add →
    Load colours from a file
    . ("Load Chart" is unchanged.)

Installation: Open the DMG, drag ChromIQ to Applications, eject, then launch.

ChromIQ is ad-hoc signed (not notarized). On macOS Sonoma+ the right-click → Open trick often fails with "Apple cannot check it for malicious software." If that happens, remove the quarantine flag in Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ChromIQ.app

Then double-click as normal.

Requires macOS 12+ and ArgyllCMS 3.5.0 at /Applications/Argyll/bin.
