Hello,

Thanks to the help obtained in this list I have finished the modification of gimp color manager plugin to work with gimp 2.x.

ftp://www.virtual-sub.org/gimp-color-manager-0.0.9.tgz

This version is identical to the original 0.0.8 it only have a change regarding to the default directory. Now it looks for the "color" directory in the user gimp preferences directory using a gimp_directory() and G_DIR_SEPARATOR to meke it platform independent (in linux file:/home/user/.gimp-2.x/color )

I made this modification because I use this plug-in to aply icc scanner color correction profiles. As I have seen in this list, there is some discussion about the new gimp functionalities regarding color profiles management in Gimp. Unfortunatelly I am not an expert on this topic, but I will kep an eye on it.

I tested this today. Here is what I found:

1. There are significant improvements over 0.0.9 and it no longer crashes when selecting a non-default profiles directory. But it does not allow the user to select profiles from this non-default profiles directory. I would rather that this default to a system wide location for profiles.

2. It now finds monitor profiles and allows the user to select these from the display profile drop down list. It does not remember the monitor profile however after the plugin is closed. I believe that it currently does nothing with them.

3. The work space profile function now works. As does the Embed WS profile function.

4. It correctly displays the profile embedded in the image.

5. The user interface is still confusing. When the user clicks on apply profile it is not clear what will happen. If Input is selected for transformation and the user selects Apply Profile what happens? Does this convert from the embedded profile to the input profile or from the input profile to the working space profile? Or ...? Same for output. What is being converted and to what?

6. There is a need for someplace to set the color management policies. And this plugin does not support that functionality.

4. It correctly displays the profile embedded in the image.

I do not understand this ¿Why are somebody intetrested in embebed the screen profile in the photo? The screen is only one step in the chain. It is not the main step. In the photo should be an intermediate profile. A "independent device profile" to be useful.

To be clearer. The plugin not displays an informational item telling the user what profile is embedded in the image. Should have been clearer with what I wrote.
