Darktable *Flatpak* v.4.8.1 - where to install icc profile?

Software
1

Hi all, really scratching my head on this one…

I’ve successfully installed the above, and have placed a prophoto icc file here:

/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.darktable.Darktable/x86_64/stable/active/files/share/color/icc/colord

where I notice there is already a prophotorgb file. However, when I try to process an image in Darktable, prophoto isn’t an option to export with.

What could I be doing wrong, is there another location for the profile to go?

I’ve been using the system installed version (4.2.1) and had no problems with that in terms of color profiles.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

As a windows guy taking a stab at it… the export profiles are hard coded and then any that you add go in a folder in the config folder of DT color/out… that folder looks like it might be a location for display profiles but maybe not for export… you might even have to create that folder at least in windows I dont’ think its there by default…

If you put it in the location you listed, it’ll be wiped out on the next update.

The darktable flatpak keeps its user settings in ~/.var/app/org.darktable.Darktable/ so color profiles go in ~/.var/app/org.darktable.Darktable/config/color/out for output profiles. (This was off the top of my head, but should be close). Conversely there should be an in folder for input profiles. Create the folders if necessary.

Output profiles go to ~/. config/darktable/color/out/.

Turns out you were almost there @paperdigits…

It was ~/.var/app/org.darktable.Darktable/config/darktable/color/out.

Of course i had to add /color/out folders. But it works!

Thank you so much!
