It is my understanding that eog makes use of color management, taking information about the display from X.
I am running Fedora 9 Linux, and I've calibrated/profiled my display using the argyll collection of programs. I've loaded the profile into X, and indeed xprop -root | grep ICC shows it is there. gimp makes use of this information as does the program inkscape, and images are displayed exactly the same in both programs. But eog shows the same image that gimp and inkscape do when I turn off display color management. Also, if I remove the display profile from X, and then load it, what eog shows is unaffected. It is, of course, affected by loading calibration vlut information into the video card. I've been using eog 2.22, but I recently compiled and installed 2.24 and the result is the same. Under Fedora (, it would require too much additional effort to compile and install version 2.26 because I would have to upgrade other components of the system. I scanned the source code for icc, and although I didn't try to follow exactly what the code does, it does apparently try to make use of the profile in X, as best I can tell. Can you explain what is going on. Should eog include under preferences a choice of turning on color management as other applications do? Sould I have compiled it with appropriate options? -- Leonard Evens <[email protected]> Mathematics Department, Northwestern University _______________________________________________ Eog-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/eog-list
