[Solved] ColorSync: All common file types should show how color profile for current file got determined in its Info

1) Open an image file into the Editor.
2) Menu > Windows > Information.
3) "Color profile" shows Name of the Profile plus in brackets information whether the color profile is embedded or a reference/flag or was assigned by user choice or automatically by preference.

✅ Currently works for PNGs and WebP

❌ Does not work for JPEGs. The just show the name of the profile. And not how this was determined in brackets.

→ Please make sure this function works for all common file types which use color profiles.

The Exif and XMP records are checked at a central location after opening a file if it contains no ICC profile.

So, please email a sample image if it does not work.

Glad to read this is handled at a central function, which all file types go through.

GC 12.1 (6407) on macOS 11.7.10

✅ Opened different JPEG files: Without ICC, with ICC embedded - Both showed that info in brackets.
ℹ️ Did not open a JPEG file with the sRGB flag only. But I trust this works too then.

Glad I could not reproduce my earlier issue.
