Clearly my point eluded you.

It still works.

It never did work with that reader.

A new version is the first one to work with said hardware.

The current installed version still does everything it used to do.

If you like, I can keep telling you this again and again. After enough threads have passed by that we could have rewritten Qt to support WinXP, will you believe me?
