Indesign CC 2017 does not accept color management

[axelm82940777]

Hello!
I work on Mac with high Sierra 10.13.2 with adobe CC 2015, 2017 and 2018.
I have been working with Adobe for 25 years and therefore know the subject color management settings & synchronization.
In Photoshop I have a color set made up of ECI RGB and ISOcoated v2 and other parameters such as rel.fartric with TK, etc.

Then I synced with the bridge the suite on this set. Photoshop and AI do not accept this set but InDesign does. The error message comes:

"Some parameters of the color settings file could not be used. The default values ​​are used."

I have created a new color set from Indesign with eciRGB v2 and ISOctd v2 and get the same problem as prescribed.

Have already tried everything, even the whole Adobe cc package uninstalled and reinstalled again.
It did not help. In the 2015er and 2018er version, the indesign color management works flawlessly. Only with the 2017er version hooks it. If you create a new document after restarting the program, it will always be created with sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and Coated Fogra39 (ISO 12647-2: 2004). Only when you go into the color settings, and unchanged with ok confirmed (the settings are all right in there with eci rgb and isocoated) created indesign the new documents with the eci rgb and isocoated v2 profiles. I will despair soon !!!
There are no umlauts in the name in it. Have also tried several times to reset the profiles and save again. Then the error message always comes as described by clemens. Although it saves the file in the Setting folder, it does so in conjunction with the complete path.

The file that Indesign stores as a color settings file is as follows:
/ Users / username / Library / Application Support / Adobe / Color / Settings / Test.csf
(this long line is the filename !!!)

The file was saved in the Settings directory under:
/ Users / username / Library / Application Support / Adobe / Color / Settings

As already explained, the correct information under the color setting is in it, but after a restart of the program only active when you call color settings and again confirmed with OK. And only in Indesign 2017!
If you open a new page right after the restart, ID will include the profiles sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and Coated Fogra39 (ISO 12647-2: 2004).
When opening existing files, no message box appears on "Deviation from profile or policy".

I have still tried the folder writing rights repaired or re-adjusted

In addition, I have the plate still run on the first aid in the hard disk utility.
Unfortunately, the error still exists.

What I have to say about this problem is that this error exists in three workplaces.

I think it's a bug in Indesign.
Have already discovered 3 or 4 cases on the net, but also with older Indesign versions,
but all with the same mistake. Unfortunately, there was nowhere a solution for it.

Maybe this Lynda.com online video tutorial might help (you can get 30-days free access):

We use a startup-script to load the CM-settings everytime ID restarts..

I don't know what's wrong, but the start up script doesn't help with CC2018 on my mac.

Have you tested this ith CC2018, too?

[marcs46025736]

In CC2018 we have no Problem with the CM-settings on OS 10.13

Only CC2015-2017 loses the settings.

update: for some reason, without any further change from my side, CMM now seems to be back to work in CC18. When I open a document, ID asks me if I want to change the document to the (different) working color space -- as expected.

I think that the ID start up script now does the job, but didn't yesterday. 

Let's see what happens tomorrow 😉

Artitute-gergo's solution finally helped. Thanks!

One thing to watch out for is the Color Settings’ Advanced Mode checkbox. If it is unchecked the dialog does not include  Conversion Options (Engine, Intent, Use BPC), and the profile list is limited to profiles saved into the Adobe Recommended folder.

Unchecking Advanced Mode limits the profile list to the profiles saved in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended

Checking Advanced Mode displays all of the available CMYK profiles in the Working Spaces CMYK dropdown

Interesting idea... I have Mac so will try looking for the file in the library and thensave the file to the desktop then see if I can manually transfer the file into the correct folder. If it worked for Windows, it might work for Mac... Hey thanks for the tip....
