Hi, all.
Partial success on Linux! (Linux Mint - Based on Ubuntu)
I've put the ICC-profiles into the $/home/USER/.color/icc/ directory (I had to create it) as kindly suggested by the tool-tip of the ICC-profiles-field in Scribus: Preferences --> General Settings. Maybe I can do the same thing on Windows. After restarting Inkscape, the color profile dropdowns now work. A small tool-tip describing the preferred folder path on either of the dropdowns (like in Scribus) would have shortened my research significantly, to put it mildly...
I'll go on trying out the color profiles settings now and send of a number of test files (PDF?) to the printing house to check out the end results. Once done with that I'll update the relevant chapters on flossmanuals once I've completed the profile research and verified that the profiles indeed do work.
I think inkscape can't embed the CMYK profiles on svg or pdf files
the right CMYK profile that you need (for acurate previews) is the same color profile will be used in the printing of the print job, you should send to printing house only a simple RGB file, in theory, that is the right (and reasonable) way, the 'secret' is to know which color profile will be used in the printing, and using the same for inkscape previews with 'simulate output on screen'
I said 'in theory' becose I never sent a RGBA file to printing, and I never would.. however, in theory it should be possible
