What concerns do you see with recursive directory scanning? We had some requests from profile vendors to put in theire folder and thats the profile installation is done. Except this vendor grouping, we are free to easily support thematical grouping on a later stage. The profiles itselve give not always a glue about customer needs. The proposal touches the later feature already. Slighly similiar, of what I think, ColorSync allowes different locations too. This is for instance necessary to support the bundles approach. So the systems sees ICC profile folders inside bundles after some ColorSync calls. On windows I know about havy complaints to a single huge folder and many users not knowing, which files to clean up and which are vital. Not shure if this has gone with XP/Vista. So until there is no other way around how to manage the masses of ICC profiles, I'd say nesting is essential. Of course the Oyranos implemtatation supports recursive directory scanning. As I see mentioning standard profiles from different applications, I'd like to point out, Oyranos shippes a group of standard profiles, like sRGB, AdobeRGB, ECI-v2(L-Star), ECI CMYK's, Lab/XYZ and some more. It is much like the Create shared resources. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management www.behrmann.name + www.oyranos.org + www.cinepaint.org PS: I croos post to OpenICC, so, sorry for double appearance. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
