In Gnome :: Settings :: Color Management I selected Add Profile, Import File…, selected an ICC file, clicked Import, and … nothing. Visiting the System Journal yielded this nugget:

2026-06-27T14:51:43-07:00 sma-station14l gnome-control-center[29800]: failed to get imported profile: The profile /home/jmoe/.local/share/icc/asus-20260626.icc already exists

Not what I expected. I then erased the file, tried again. Same result. It would seem that the source file is copied to /home/jmoe/.local/share/icc/, moves on to discover the file already exists even though it had just copied it, and quits. Thus making it impossible to add a new profile.

Am I missing something?

Three days and no one knows what this is. 32 views (and counting).

I attempted to create a defect report at Gnome Bugzilla. The project gnome-color-manager seemed promising; I could find no way to create a report. Literally, no way.

You want to create an issue in gnome-control-center.

For more information on creating issues, you can check the issue tracking section of the GNOME Handbook.

Here is the problem: Where do I create an issue?

Via the sidebar: Plan → Work Items → New (near the top right of the window)

I found where Issues are. Work items · GNOME / Settings · GitLab

The URL is in the README file.

Ah! Thank you. I had found it independently.
