I am trying to understand what the cdisplay modules can or can not do for a color management system. In my opinion the configuration of these modules should be stored in a user's gimprc file and not as parasites in an image: If I move an image from one machine to another the cdisplay settings are moved along with the image, the second machine will most likely have different display properties, so these settings will not make a lot of sense on the new machine. On the other hand if I'm using Gimp on one display only then it makes perfect sense to have the same gamma setting every time I load an image into Gimp. For me this means that we should store the settings locally and not in the image. Regardless of where the configuration is stored, it should not be stored as a "write only setting" :-) This might be a pilot error so correct me if I'm wrong: When I store an image with a gamma setting applied via the cdisplay_gamma module I expect this same gamma setting to be restored when I load the image back into Gimp. This does not happen. It seems like the system "forgets" about the fact that I had any display modules selected, and also ignores the setting of the gamma value once I re-select the gamma module. What is the correct behavior for the display modules, and where should the configuration information be stored? Karl Heinz
