#59 Crash when trying to create scanner profile
Vanessa Ezekowitz <vanessaezekowitz@gmail.com>
Using: lprof v1.11.4.1 (built myself)
Also affects: Same version, official Ubuntu build
Every time I try to create a profile for my scanner (HP PSC1350), the program segfaults when I hit the final "Create" button, and no file is created.
The source image is your scandmo.png, and I'm using the right template (all the squares line up properly when I select the corners), and the target is sRGB. File is to be written to ~/.colors/PSC1350-scanner.icc
No other information is printed to the console except a few lines of "QInputContext: no input method context available".
Logged In: YES
user_id=1052244
Originator: NO
When you say "the target is sRGB" what do you mean? What reference file are you using? Make sure you are using the reference file from the target vendor.

I would like to be able to reproduce this even if it should turn out to be some type of "user" error such as not correctly setting up the reference file. If I can reproduce it I can then figure out how to trap the error and give users more meaningful error messages. So any information you can give me about this and how it occurred will be really helpful.
Also just an FYI the emerging Linux/unix standard for the locations of icc profiles is:
/usr/shared/color/icc and/or /usr/local/shared/color/icc for system wide icc profiles and ~/.color/icc for user specific icc profiles.
Many programs such as CinePaint, Scribus, Krita and Gimp 2.3 among others will look in these locations by default for icc profiles.
