Well I'm only a bit of a 'john' but you are right, the system
will create another GenericRGB (or CMYK or LAB or Gray) to replace the
deleted one in OS X.2.x and OSX.3.x. We haven't got Tiger yet, but I
haven't read anything to say this policy has changed.
Nonetheless, it appears as if Apple has chosen to make a
'Microsoft Move' and dummy down their next great OS update. (I like
the Widgets because I've used Konfabulator for years.)
So, since we are stuck with yet another form of GenericRGB, and
another ambiguous workaround (TBA), I suppose this means those of us
who have to advise our clients to convert to GenericRGB
to get through their current OS RGB-printing pipelines (or tack on
Gimpprint) should just continue to do so.
And I suppose we also continue to place our aliases in various
locations and move all our profiles to one single target
folder...
And I suppose no-one bothered to change Color Management in the
menus to say Current Apple Default...
And I suppose there really is no reason to update if your color
is now working fine (after all the necessary workarounds are in place)
unless, of course, you don't have Konfabulator already and want to
play with Widgets...
And gasp...
...It just baffles me that appears to me to be a simple color
architecture can be blithered about on assumptions everyone wants to
use pissy, small, extinct colorspaces.
Well, lets see what Longhorn produces. If anything it keeps the
lists busy....;0)
