Access profile list via script

Hello,


I'm trying to allow users to access the profiles on their machine via a selection box - how can I do this? The same one that's in the 'convert to profile' option in Photoshop. Please see attached screenshot - I can't find this anywhere!

 

Thanks!

Only this can be obtained.


The rest should be read from icc(m) files from folders where Photoshop is looking for them.

And not only in folders
Win: C:/Windows/System32/ spool/drivers/color
Mac: Library/ColorSync/Profiles
 
It's complicated )

Hi,

 

When the users acccess the (output) ICC  profile list (as in your screenshot) is it the convert to profile command you're planning using in the next step?

Do you definitely want them to see the prfoile list within Photoshop and be able to choose one?

 

If it's not for convert to profile - what would you like to happen once they choose the profile from the "selection box"? 

It's easier for us to help you if we know all about what you are attempting to do? 

 

thanks

Basically I'm working on making a simple image processor based on what I need to change - I need to be able to select the profile for a folder of images, and then convert them.

 

My processor mockop is below, roughly based on Paul-Riggot's processor
