The original patch that I applied to HEAD did have this option but I removed it since I think we should rather use the established locations for ICC profiles that are shared between apps. You mean /usr/share/color/icc and ~/.color/icc ? What about running Gimp on windows? I think that it could be useful if that user can add additional profiles directories to the default ones. Think about advanced users that could have a lot of specific profiles depending on the situation. I have noticed that parasites are saved/restored from file depending on the file format used. (for example in tiff they work and in jpg not). I assume that it is not a bug, but a limitation of the graphic format itself. Is this theory true? Parasites can only stored in XCF files. But I have checked that the "icc-profile" parasite can be recovered from a Tiff file, but not from a jpg file. I assume that "icc-profile" parasite can be stored in tiff, but not in jpg.
