You need to install share-mime-info from git master for the double click to work, you can either use gnome-color-manager 2.29.2 and just drag and drop the icc profile, or you can use 2.29.1 and just click import.

Yup, version 2.29.2 now uses lcms.

I would vote for a close integration/cooperation with Oyranos, too.

What about double calibration? The display profile most probably has gamma 2.2 included already and setting another gamma additionaly is not needed.

If adjustments to vendor’s profile are required, I would expect +/- gamma instead (the same like xgamma utility).

Muhammad,

Right click on the profile and click “Open with other application”. There should be a list of applications and one of the is “ICC profile installer”. Click that and there should be a pop up asking if you want to install the profile.

No, it looks too much like crap that it can’t be right, with 1.0 it just works i.e I plug the display in and it looks sane.

With 2.2 it is awefully bright/colors are way off … so I prefer the “just work” vs “you need to play with the settings to get decent colors” …

Also tested the same display under windows, the colors are the same no wierd “very bright” screen like with gamma 2.2 (and no this is not specific to one display)

drago01: gamma 2.2 is the sRGB standard, what Windows has been using forever, and what Macs now use. If everything looks too bright then either your brightness setting is wrong, your profile is wrong, our you have got used to a badly calibrated display.

You should be using Oyranos for most of the backend functionality. Also KDE playground had an app named Kolor Manager that implements a KDE front end for Oyranos that now does most of what you are proposing (IE. other devices like scanners, cameras, printers and X11 integration). Perhaps you should leverage that work for GNOME.
