Setting ICC profiles in Preferences
I have Inkscape 0.46 (with liblcms_1.dll in C:\Program Files\Inkscape\ installtion folder) on Windows XP SP2 (and all patches until present). In the **Color Settings** control panel , I have set the device profiles as follows:
@ 'Displays' -- BenQ E2200W (Digital) on Radeon 9200 Series @ 'Printers' -- Epson IJ Printer 06 on Epson Stylus CX6900f (multifunction) @ 'Scanners' -- Epson Stylus CX6900f/CX7000f/DX7000f scanner - reflective
The **Color Management** page in the **Inkscape Preferences** dialogue neither displays correctly nor allows profiles to be specified.
In case the embedded pixmap is stripped by the listserv:
@ **Display profile** display <none> and a profile cannot be set. (Fallback is to mark 'Retrieve profile from display' but I do not know if this is actually happening. There is a manufacturer supplied profile for my LCD monitor.
@ **Device profile** drop-down is distorted and does not allow selection of the inkjet printer or an industry CMYK profile such as SWOP ( US Web Coated).
I would like to use colour management in Inkscape if I can, particularly to preview graphics intended for a particular press and paper stock. But first some answers to a few questions:
@ What is Inkscape's working colour profile, if any? Adobe RGB 1998?
@ Where do you store ICC *.icc or *.icm profile files on the Windows version of Inkscape? Or does it use the Windows system profiles in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color ?
Any advice about getting the colour-management functionality in Inkscape to work will be gratefully received.
Regards, Hedley

Hedley,
It is my understanding the color management does not work on Windows platforms yet. I'm copying the devel list, so they can add anything i missed or messed up.
