           Summary: Color management doesn't work in thumbnails and view
                    mode
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: michal at thoma.cz


Version:           0.10 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

I set up color management though in thumbnail and view mode there is no change,
images are still displayed as in color management unaware application. Only in
edit mode color management is employed. It's not only RAW images, but TIFFs and
JPEGs with valid profiles.

It also seems there is some confusing informations in Digikam documentation
where in the section "ICC Profiles setup"  is written: "The Use color managed
view is an alternative to using Xcalib or Argyll. Only your image will be color
managed, not your entire screen!"

Xcalib and Argyll's dyspwin are application which sets up video adapter gamma
tables and this Digikam definitely doesn't do. One would expect that it just
translate image color space to monitor color space so that will be displayed
with highest possible accuracy. This is no way altering XCalib or Dispwin.
Anyway setting up "Use color managed view" doesn't make any change to thumbnail
and view mode, only applies in edit.
