[argyllcms] Re: eye of gnome color management

Lars,
I tried your method of running eog twice with two different profiles on two of the same color checker jpegs.
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and I have to say that when I loaded the "bad" icc profile and then opened test2.jpg, I could not tell a difference between the colors in each instance of eog.
I should mention however, that the colors in all my windows, including the first eog changed *dramatically* when I loaded the bad profile. Is it possible that eog reacts to changes in ICC profiles or was this just the effect of changing the LUTs. I noticed eog was compiled against the lmcs library on Ubuntu.
What do you make of this? Is my eog color managed or not? I am more confused than ever... 

Thanks,
Dave

I downloaded the latest stable version of eog to compile it. I tried to
configure it and ran into trouble because my version of intltool was too
old (0.27 instead of 0.40).  A brief look at the configure file seems to
indicate that it searches for lcms and it probably incorporates it if it
finds it.  I assume the problem with my packaged versions of eog is that
they were not compiled in an environment including lcms.  But to proceed
further I would have to either try an earlier version of eog or get a
tar distribution of intltool 0.40 and compile it.  intltool seems to be
something for extensive language support, which I don't think I need, so
this is something of an annoyance.

I think perhaps I will give up on eog and color management for a while.

Hello again

I downloded a fedora 9 live iso and booted up. I test with the
procedure I described for you yesterday
http://www.freelists.org/post/argyllcms/eye-of-Gnome-CM-support,2
and eye of gnome have "some" colormanagement support on fedora 9.

Please try the procedure I described yesterday. You may have to add
"yum install wget" as root to it. God luck
