I am quite impressed with this Configurator App although I tend to stay away from using configurators and rely only on Plist Editors. I decided to test drive this one and found it to be quite useful for beginners to edit an OC config.plist relatively easy, so congratulations on the app.

@ic005k - Hi I forgot to ask does this Configurator App contain a builtin update notification or does one have to visit GitHub for clarification? - Thanks.

Sorry, there is currently no built-in update reminder. You must visit github to download and update.

@ic005k Maybe you can use Sparkle for automatic updates: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15217923/sparkle-based-updater-for-c-application-os-x

Edit - Hi I don't know if this is just my system. but there seems to be a bug with this update. It will not launch whereas the previous version was ok. I tried with SIP enabled/disabled also Gatekeeper (see attached) still no joy.

Absolutely Perfect now!!!!!!!!, big thanks for taking the time, Kudos my friend. 

 

On a lighter note what is the thought behind choosing the App's Icon? Because I recommended the app to a few newcomers to OC, whilst they liked the app very much, they disliked the Icon as they think that it belies a great app. My take really is, as long as it does what it says I am happy.

This icon does not have any special meaning, just find one at random, ha ha. Can you help recommend an icon or design an icon? Thank you.

This code indentation problem, I will look into it later. Because it is a built-in style of Qt development tools, if you need to customize it, it may take some time and effort.
But I feel that Qt's code indentation is much more elegant than xcode. Based on the plist file editor developed by Xcode, their code indentation is very empty and not compact. Hmm, this is just the characteristic of each development tool.
Everything can be improved.

Unfortunately I am not that clever enough to design or even suggest an alternative, like I said as long as it does what it says I am happy with the way it functions.

if you like it .. its the one i use for myself

Here

 

I would like to ask also for a change on how all 3 apps you made store their preferences. since in all $HOME should be present a .config folder also used for this by many others applications, if it doesn't bother you would it be possible to change the directory for your .ini files there?

just to keep it clean...

I can help you with that, I hope to have some time on the weekend and maybe we can think of something together.

Okay, I will standardize these .ini configuration files.

Which application is more perfect for editing config.plist "OpenCore Configurator or QtOpenCoreConfig"?

Thanks.

I think you can try both of these apps, and finally see which app is more suitable for you.

If I may jump in, having tried both I would say the QtOpencore Configurator app is the better choice (without prejudice). The OC OpenCore Configurator sometimes will add unwanted data entries to your selection which has been reported by a few users.
