<div class="gmail_quote"><div>Hi to whoever this may concern :)</div><div><br></div><div>Robert and I would welcome comments on the practical issue below, especially from the distribution guys..</div><div>We will SOON enable "settings" for Gutenprint, and start using them for our own work in describing inking behavior. </div>
<div>The question is where to put the settings files. If they get placed in /tmp/ as Robert suggests, we may be creating security issues and in any case we would have a fragile prototype and this could only be done in a dev branch. </div>
<div>If there exists a "canonical" place to put ink settings, eg. the same place as the PPDs, then maybe we could enable this feature in the standard distribution of Gutenprint, which is something *I* would much prefer, as the feature would then be integrated in the main distributions and be *tested* and available for use by all the color management superstructure we have been discussing at length here. </div>
