None of the color management options work.
The Inkscape Preferences -> Colour Management tab has a drop-down list for Display Profile.
This only lists <None> as an option. The mouse-over says that it checks four different directories. I have confirm that all four directories exist and at least one of them contains valid ICC profiles (e.g. they work correctly in Scribus).
The Device Profile drop-down on the same tab, has no options, appears to be greyed out and has no mouse-over information.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Any help or suggestions appreciated. I'm trying to create a CMYK compatible PNG file for import into a PDF that is going to a professional printers.
IIUC you are looking for 'Document Properties > Color Management > Linked Color Profiles' to link an available ICC Color Profile to your SVG document. After you have linked one it will be available in the 'Fill&Stroke' CMS tab.
The 'Inkscape Preferences > Color Management > Color adjustment' lets you choose a ColorSync Profile for your monitor: on my MBP with 10.5.8 I have only 'Color LCD' or 'None' to choose from. The Device Profile selector is empty here too. I don't know about that.
If you used some prerelease versions with the same login account, it could be that the Display Profile is wrongly set in the preferences file and cannot be changed, and as a result Inkscape crashes when you open the 'Document Properties' dialog. Please see bug #482148 and #455894 for available workarounds.
