You’re welcome!

I think what I’m talking about is consistent on OSX. There are other things that aren’t consistent but let’s not get this issue mixed up with those!

Were they available in other dialog boxes in Photoshop? I bet they were - just not the Print dialog!

Well if you’re talking about the parenthesis problem I’m talking about, you can replicate it pretty easily. Try it out!
> No operating system supporting ICC profiles has any restrictions on parenthesis.
Correct, but Photoshop CS6 and newer does have this restriction. Just in the Print dialog.
> The ICC internal name field does impose additional restrictions. V2 profiles support a maximum of 67 characters, including a null terminator for the string. The primary description field can't contain Unicode, but both Unicode and legacy ScriptCode have their own 67 character fields. V4 profiles can have anything you want up to 4096 characters. Write a short essay in the profile description if you wish.
I get it. But if the ASCII name contains a parenthesis it won’t show up in the Print dialog box.
