[Openicc] Devicelink profiles and accompanying metadata

[Alastair M. Robinson]

Hi,

I'm in the planning stages of adding DeviceLink profile support to
CMYKTool.  My plan is to use ArgyllCMS to create devicelinks to
transform between profiles, and store these for subsequent use - which
leads me to my question:
Is there an accepted location for storing devicelink profiles (such as
XDG_DATA_HOME/color/icc/devicelink or something similar) where I could
save such profiles for potential use by other software, or should I just
cache them privately?

I shall also need to save a certain amount of metadata about the
Devicelinks - such as the endpoint profiles (needed if you want to
soft-proof) and parameters supplied to Argyll when generating the link
(black-generation parameters, intents, viewing conditions, etc.)

I'm thinking my best bet will be to cache the metadata privately but
make the devicelinks themselves available to other software - but I'm
open to persuasion and very interested to hear if anyone else has any
thoughts on this?

Thanks

All the best
