Hello.
A feature request for colprof -S parameter, an input profile check with
diagnostic message if the profile is incorrect.
While profiling a printer, I intended to use a gamut file as a mapping source
instead of usual ICCv2 profile. I tried an -S parameter with a *.gam file by a
mistake. Colpof failed after A2B table creation and setting B2A lookup.
SMP Debian 4.9.168-1 (2019-04-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux, the colprof was built from
sources downloaded from https://www.argyllcms.com/Argyll_dev_src.zip 04.05.2019
/Argyll_V2.1_build_20190504/bin/colprof -v2 -al -qh -r0.707 -cmd -dpp
-S'Intersect_CMYK+RGB.gam' -P ProfileBaseName
...
Done A to B table creation
Setting up B to A table lookup
Segmentation fault
After investigating a cause, I found that colprof needs -g parameter for *.gam
file together with -S parameter and source ICC profile. So my usage of gamut
file with -S parameter was incorrect. Have spend some time to debug my colprof
command line.
For such case the check for input profile correctness is desirable. The
segfault is not enough informative.
Thank You.
