Hi Richard, In general, the library does not provide functions for remove entries. Not only in dictionary but in all structures, like named colors.
This was done on purpose, and the reason was the structures I'm using to store data are not efficient for delete operations. Rather, it wold be easier to use a higher level structure tied to application behavior. For example, in the case of dictionary metadata, a modern application would use std::vector or something similar that makes data access less painful that pure C code. In such way, you can read all the dictionary by using the lcms function, organize this data in you own structure, probably in a way that the UI would understand better, and then, on saving the profile, converting back to lcms structure. It may seem an overkill for small operations, but if you have the UI code already written, please take a look and you will probably find you are already using something like that for storing widget references or additionat UI data.

Writing new DICT tags works well, as does adding them, but *modifying* them seems painful. Because there's no cmsDictRemoveEntry I have to load up a new hDict copying the values from the old one. Is this how I'm supposed to change metadata? Ideas welcome, thanks.
