I think we all agree on this the UI should present a list of profiles, not files, to the user. > > I suppose that the new plug-in API will have functionalities to get the: > > Embedded ICC profile (get/set) > Profile search path (or alternatively list of available profiles) > > Do you have more or less the list of the new API ICC funcionalities? > They will help me to clarify the actual user interface which actually > looks like: > > http://www.virtual-sub.org/images/upload/abulmacolor2.jpg > > I agree that it can be improved. Jordi, You current plug-in is a good fit for GIMP 2.2 but it implements way too much stuff for GIMP 2.4 since the apparent plan is to have GIMP wide CM policies that are set in file ==> preferences ==> color management. So the policy stuff in your plug-in will not be needed. What is needed for GIMP 2.4 are two very simple plug-ins that will do two things: 1. Allow the user to assign a profile to an image. This would pull up a dialog that allows the user to assign the default working space profile or select from a list of available profiles. 2. Allow the user to do a color space conversion. This would pull up a dialog that would have a "from" and "to" section. In the "from" section the user would be able to select either the embedded profile if one exited (otherwise this is gray) or from a list of available profiles. In the "to" section the user would be able to select either the default working space profile or from a list of available profiles.
