Inkscape 0.47 r22583 Built Nov 24 2009 OSX 10.5.8
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.
Many thanks
Chris

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.

Suv,
Progress!
I had looked at the 'Document Properties > Color Management >
Linked Color Profiles' before but none of my devices were showing up
there. So I assumed it was to do with the lack of settings in my Inkscape Preferences.
However I've just looked at it again and it is now showing my devices. This may be connected to the fact I have copied my icc profiles into /users/<username>/.local/share/colors/icc as an attempt to get the Inkscape Properties Color Management tab working.
<Later>
I've just tried removing the icc files from /users/<username>/.local/share/colors/icc and they disappear from the Document Properties --> Color Profile option. If I put them back, they reappear.
I'm not sure if this the desired behaviour but it would be more sensible if Inkscape Preferences and Document Preferences both looked in the same locations for icc files.
Thanks for the help.
Chris

AFAIU these are two separate kind of profiles that Inkscape looks for in the same places (including in "$XDG_DATA_HOME/color/icc" which defaults to '~/.local/share/color/icc'): ColorSync Display profiles and ICC Color Profiles for the document.
What I can choose from in both dialogs are Apple's default profiles (I haven't installed any additional ICC or ICM profiles yet):

When I look at the Device Profile drop-down there's a mouseover dialog that explains what the function is for (identifies three files that are to be searched) and the actual drop down shows AL2216W and Cinema HD as options that can be selected (along with <none>). The other drop downs on this screen seem to be working too. Sorry this doesn't help to fix your problem - just a data point ~

Thanks Stu, at least it lets me know that it is a problem with my installation.

PNG can't store CMYK, by the way, only RGB.
