GNOME Color Manager / color management

A new version of GNOME Color Manager is out as usual on first Monday of a month.

Changes:

  • configuration of default color spaces and softproofing is activated;
  • metadata summary displays whether a profile has a 'vcgt' tag (i.e. whether it color-corrects videoadapter and the output);
  • filtering of RGB/CMYK profiles in comboboxes where appropriate;
  • a new DBus method GetProfileForWindow which returns a profile for given XID;
  • new tooltips in configuration dialog;
  • a new "Other profile" entry in comboboxes to easily import a profile to use with a device;
  • a new GConf variable that defines time spent on device characterization;
  • updated user interface translations;
  • bugfixes.

Richard is planning to take care of charatecization of printers next, so he would be glad for measurement devices given him for testing.
