--- Comment #29 from DrSlony <bugs at londonlight.org> ---
"As i said prefiously, this code has not changed since a while. We don't
introduce a bug here."
Then the design is flawed, since I have no monitor profile installed and yet it
doesn't work. The design seems to rely on monitorProfileFromSystem, and if it
is set then it does not let the user override that.

Again, what I am suggesting is you give *power to the user*, not to the
unreliable detection mechanism, and let the user decide whether the "installed"
profile should be used (whatever "installed" means), or whether the profile
chosen by the user via QFileDialog should be used.
I am suggesthing this:
The combobox should list all automatically detected monitor profiles, and a
monitorProfileFromSystem option, and a QFileDialog option. It must be up to the
user which one (s)he chooses, always power to the user.

"if you have set a monitor CM by Window Manager, you must turn off this
settings to be able to use a dedicated one in digiKam"
How would I have a monitor CM set by Window Manager? I don't have oyranos or
colord or kolor-manager installed.
Where does monitorProfileFromSystem get set?
What are KU and KC?
