What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

File looks so good compared to other files management! It's clean, fast, it works. There is just one minor problem for users managing lots of images, and that is color management. Not even Windows file manager uses Windows color management, so there is that though,, ACDSee has great color management but it's not as versatile as Files. The best color management implementation it's had by Irfan View, but that soft is terrible from a usage point of view. Please, consider adding color management for image preview, as for us that work with lots of images on wide gamut monitors, not having color management results in oversaturated colors that are annoying.

Thank you!

Requirements

  • Take a look at Irfan View, it has the best color management system out there
  • ACDSee is very good too, but not as good as Irfan
  • Fast Stone is another image viewer and manager, it has color management, but it's poorly implemented, it converts al images to sRGB color profile, leading to gamut restrictions on images containing larger gamuts and colors outside sRGB.
  • I don't know coding, so I can't give you advice on how to physically implement it.
