Bug ID: 483700
Summary: ICC profiles always loaded from specified location
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: agure...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I've found potentially undesirable behavior with ICC profiles. It seems that
it's always loaded from the specified location in Display settings. I've added
mine from the NAS, which causes two issues:
1) Whenever outside of home NAS is not available at boot, hence profile is not
loaded
2) Field becomes unresponsive and new profile cannot be selected, when previous
profile is not accessible
I would assume that whatever icc file is specified it's copied somewhere, so it
continues to be available, no matter the availability of the initial location
(same can be said for cloud storage which may not be available at login time)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install ICC profile from network location
2. Make said location unavailable
3. Try to login and change ICC profile
OBSERVED RESULT
No ICC profile loaded (and field is empty) and cannot set to new profile
because location is unavailable and whole Display settings window hangs.
EXPECTED RESULT
...something else? I would say that hang should not occur and/or message should
be displayed that previous ICC cannot be found? That should probable be shown
as system-wide message (a pop up?) at the time it fails to load. But again, I'd
expect the specified file to be copied to some location and used from there.
