Perhaps apps like i1Profiler shouldn’t let us use the characters when naming profiles? Or perhaps big important apps like Photoshop should accept them in the print dialog like they do everywhere else? Scott Martin www.on-sight.com

It is generally a bad idea to use any punctuation outside of periods, hyphens or underscores in document- or filenames, regardless of what platform you're working on. Too unpredictable.
(And even periods, other than the filename extension, can cause confusion to some software. Best to avoid extra periods, too.)
Had a customer send us a file a few weeks ago that used an Emoji in the filename. Didn't even know that was possible, and our file server automation *really* didn't like it at all.

Ever since Photoshop CS6 came out I¹ve been struggling with an issue where some custom printer profiles don¹t show up in Photoshop¹s Print dialog. They show up in every other window that lists profiles and in every other Adobe application print dialog box. Photoshop¹s print dialog box filtering has been leaving out some perfectly good printer profiles.
I think I just figured it
out - it¹s the use of parenthesis (and possibility other funny characters) in the profile name. If I replace a parenthesis with an Œx' profiles now show up in Photoshop's print dialog box regardless of where they are placed (with the exception of Adobe's 'Recommended' folder, which still seems problematic for other reasons). Darn!
Like a lot of people who make custom profiles, I like
to put information like the printer driver media setting in the name of the profile in parenthesis. These are supposed to be safe characters but Photoshop¹s print dialog box is filtering them out.
So ³Epson 20000 Luster
(PLPP260) 5-16.icc² won¹t show up but ³Epson 20000 Luster PLPP260 5-16.icc² will show up.
However, simply renaming the file name won't help. It's the
internal ASCII name that triggers it from being included in Photoshop's Print dialog. So one can either use the ColorSync Utility to rename this internal name, or generate a new profile with parenthesis.
I¹ve already pointed this
out to Dave P so expect to see this fixed in a future version of PS. But in the meantime one can takeout parenthesis in the ASCII to get them to show up in PS CS6 through PSCC.
Whew, this has been a big problem for how many years
now? Can't believe it took us this long to figure it out. I hope this helps!
