Hello, sorry about the cross-list posting, but it is the easiest way to say this... At CinePaint (cinepaint.sourceforge.net) we are in the process of integrating full colour management following the ICC standard. A while ago, there has been some discussion on the Open ICC list (openicc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) about a directory standard for ICC profiles on Linux. Marti Maria, developer of littlecms (www.littlecms.com), suggested /usr/share/color/icc and ~/.color/icc as intuitive paths. We decided to go along with this. So this is just to let you know about it in the hope you like the suggestion and might adopt it in your own application as appropriate thereby turning the paths into a standard which would be a first step towards an OS-based colour management on Linux. Thanks Stefan
