--- Comment #4 from James Graham <james.h.gra...@protonmail.com> ---
I was setting up colour profiles for my new monitor yesterday and I got it
working on Wayland however there are numerous UX issues that made it a lot of
work. I can confirm the issues found in the original post (only seeing the
default profiles but not being able to import new ones) but after some digging
found workarounds that eventually allowed me to get an ICC profile for my
monitor loaded.
So initially when I tried to load the profile I had I would get an error saying
it couldn't copy the profile. After digging and finding the command for the ICC
profile importer (colord-kde-icc-importer) and running it in terminal I found
that it was trying to copy the file to a location that didn't exist
(~/.local/share/icc). By creating this location the importer would work and
copy the file to the location.
This probably means that the importer needs to be able to create the location
if it doesn't already exist. However this doesn't solve the issue as even when
I was able to get the importer to work the profile would not appear in the
colour corrections tab. It seems this is due to the fact that it doesn't look
at the user location for profiles. When I copied the profile manually to
/usr/share/color/icc/ it appeared instantly and I was able to apply it.
TLDR: It seems everything works its just that all the UI is not hooked up to
allow importing profiles to a user location and applying them from there. A
workaround for now seems to be to copy the profile to /usr/share/color/icc (or
wherever colord is putting it's default profiles on your machine) and then you
can use them just fine.
