Bug in Color Management Profile Load/Save?

Post by mjdl »

Hello,
Just noticed something: when color management settings are saved with conversion option "Ask Only On Mismatch" and then explicitly reloaded into the color management dialog (either immediately on on some later occasion), then the conversion option "Don't convert" is always selected, it must be changed to whatever is actually desired.

I haven't checked all the possible combinations, but I think this might be a source of unnoticed configuration errors and should be fixed.

I believe this problem is caused by switching between newer versions of PWP and some earlier versions. If you stick with 5.x this should not happen.

No, this is a fresh installation of 5.0.1.5 that was upgraded earlier this week to 5.0.1.6--I simply ran the the setup executable of 5.0.1.6 and it updated the current installation--that's how the Windows MSI is supposed to work, detecting which files need updating and which not. But maybe that's not how it works in PWP: dare I say that it would be nice if it did work in this expected way?

I'm afraid there's further evidence that I should have gone through the whole uninstall/reinstall procedure: clicking the "Apply" button in the raw dialog in between changing parameters allows rapidly comparing results. Normally each such new window would be listed in the "Window" menu. But this isn't the case: there's always one missing. Attached is a screen capture illustrating what I mean.

Anyway I'll reinstall the latest this weekend and see if that resolves this matter.

I can see the problem. It appears that the menu is not adjusting itself to the new length, so that the last window is not shown. This is apparently happening only in the case of Apply in the raw dialog. The history display is not affected. I would doubt that this problem has any connection with the installation procedure.

I will look into this problem.

Thanks for such a quick reply; I won't reinstall, then, since everything else (well, the limited parts I use) in PWP seems to work. The problem, anyway, is a minor "fit-and-finish" one, just requiring moving windows as a work-around.
