You can add your personal profiles in ~/.color/icc/ or 
~/.kde/share/apps/krita/profiles/. Global ones are located 
in /usr/share/apps/krita/profiles/. I think there's also a global Create dir, 
which I forgot.

Is there a libopenexr function that we could use to read and store these 
comments easily? Probably if we know these functions, it'd be easy to add 
support for this (in the 2.0 branch, since 1.6 is 'dead').

That's one for Cyrille, but crashes are always bad.

Either this mailinglist, or directly in bugs.kde.org (you need to create an 
account for it).
