[Digikam-users] problems with ICC profiles

[Francisco J. Cruz]

Well Daniel, sRGB color profile isn't showed where you expect to found
it because it is not a pure input device profile, is a color space
profile. I've thinking about this problem sometime ago and my
conclussion is that we can accept "color spaces profiles" to be showed
as "input devices" or let's the user to select a "built-in sRGB
profile" in the same way we do with Color Management plugin.
