Eye of gnome's colour rendering

[binoyte]

I've some doubts about eye of gnome's colour rendering.

As my screen is calibrated, jpg's colours are unchanged whatever the application used to read the file (Firefox, ASP, gThumb etc...)

But if I use Eye of Gnome (Eog), the default gnome viewer, colours are tasteless. I don't understand why. I'm running fedora 16 64bits, with Gnome 3.2.1

gthumb is on the left, Eog on the right : http://i48.servimg.com/u/f48/13/98/61/29/captur16.jpg

afaik EOG is totally not color managed, i.e.:
* it doesn't respect your color profile
* it doesn't respect input file profiles, it just silently assumes sRGB.

Last time I checked EoG did not have any CM support, so it is best avoided.
Use geeqie instead (you need to set the CM options in the preferences).
And open up a bug for EoG, non CM aware image viewers are not acceptable.
