Description

Setup (please complete the following information):

  • Distribution: [e.g. Ubuntu] Debian
  • Distribution release: [e.g. 20.04] Unstable
  • Geeqie version [geeqie --version]: Geeqie 2.5+git20250401-c1735f57 GTK3

Describe the bug
Images viewed in Pan View aren't appropriately color managed. I don't know whether this is just that the display profile is not applied, or whether this also means that embedded color profiles aren't respected. This issue applies equally to the panview thumbnails, and to the larger images that can pop up when you click an image in panview

In my case, I have a wide color gamut screen (100% DCI-P3 and 98% AdobeRGB iirc), and have calibrated and profiled the screen to create a display color profile that gives me accurate colors. In contexts where that display profile is not used, colors will generally appear over-saturated.

This profile is automatically loaded by the displaycal-apply-profiles utility when X starts (part of the displaycal package).

Screenshots
In the screenshots, you can see that the main window image is less-saturated, and the panview image is more-saturated. Both images should look identical (and should look like the main window image).

Two screenshots showing the mismatch in the popup images:

And one screenshot showing the mismatch in the thumbnails shown directly by panview:
