Description Dik Takken 2006-12-06 14:09:49 UTC
Version:           0.1.0_beta2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
OS:                Linux

In Photoshop and CinePaint, you can assign a color management profile to an image directly from the application menu. It would be great if ICC assignment in DigiKam can be done in the same way: Add an entry 'Assign ICC profile' to the 'Image' menu, showing a sub-menu with a list of installed profiles. Assigning a profile only requires clicking on one of the profiles in the submenu.

Gilles, you're fast! I was just about to re-assign to 'Image Editor' myself, then I see you already did it...

:-)))

Do we want a submenu for directly selecting a profile, or do we want a single action to open a dialog with previews (for assigning) or profile infos (for conversion)?
Comment 3 Mikolaj Machowski 2009-09-03 19:12:59 UTC
IMO differences between thumbnails will be too small to be really useful. Also submenu will be faster.
Comment 4 Mikolaj Machowski 2009-09-03 19:19:44 UTC
The only advantage of separate dialog I see is better access to additional information about profile. But it will be barely useful for advanced users who will only assign profile and be with it.

Another advantage of separate dialog is possibility to store and manipulate plethora of profiles, use quick filtering tool, etc.

Maybe combined solution?

In submenu will be "favorites", most often used profiles for quick assignemnt. But in submenu will be position "All profiles..." which will show dialog with managed thumbnails, additional info *and* checkboxes - "Show in quick list". Checking this box will promote profile to submenu for quick assignment.

Another question: After reading this a second time, I wonder if this is about assigning a profile or not rather converting, or both?
- Assign: Changes profile, interpretation of image data and appearance, but not the image data; required when the assigned color profile is wrong or an image without assigned profile is loaded assuming the wrong profile. 
- Convert: Changes profile and image data, appearance is unchanged.

SVN commit 1025817 by mwiesweg:

Add color profile conversion to the core plugin.
A menu contains sRGB, Adobe RGB etc. and the recently used profiles.
To assign other profiles, a tool is opened.
I am unsure currently if using a tool is better than a simple dialog.
