GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 528958
ICC color management profile can't be deleted

I want to delete an ICC profile but can find no way to do this. (I have searched via Google & looked in the manual, but can't find any solution.) Thanks.
If you have questions about using GIMP, then please ask on the gimp-user mailing-list. This is a bug-tracker, not a help forum. To delete an ICC profile, assign the sRGB profile.
I don't mean to be difficult -- and I am in awe of the GIMP development community -- but I do understand clearly how to swap profiles. But the point is -- and this may be an issue for future development -- once an ICC profile has been loaded, it exists in the color management drop down menu for good. GIMP references the profile wherever the user has saved it, but if the user moves the profile to another directory, folders get rearranged, etc. then GIMP no longer has access to the profile -- yet, the name of the profile still lives in the color management drop down menus as an option. And I have found no way to get rid of that (deceased) option. Since I couldn't find any documentation on this issue, I came to the conclusion (maybe wrongly I admit) that perhaps this was an oversight, that maybe no means had been created by the developers to delete those profiles. Which is why I reported this with Bugzilla. Anyway, you guys have done a great job with GIMP. It's an amazing program, and I only want it to be perfect! Thanks. For reference here's the protocol I went through: - Saved ICC profile to directory X - Loaded the profile into GIMP via color management - Moved ICC profile to directory Y - Noticed that GIMP still lists the profile as an option - Tried hard to find way to delete now defunct option/profile Over and out.
Remove or edit .gimp-2.4/profilerc. I don't think we want to add a user interface for that. But it might make sense to check if the profile still exists before showing it in the menu.
2008-05-06 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> * libgimpwidgets/gimpcolorprofilestore.c (gimp_color_profile_store_load_profile): check if the file exists before adding it to the history. Fixes bug #528958.
