7 years ago - create new flag for oyProfile_FromFile()
- split supplied file name into key and value, e.g. by ';'
- create a default rank_map from the key part with [2,-1,0]
- create a oyConfig_s object from the key value pair
- add the the rank map to the config object and set that as "meta" object to the profiles->oy->handles
- a star, '*' inside the value string triggers substring matching, without it is full rule dict tag matching
- detect the "meta" object inside the oyProfile_Match function and do matching between these profiles
It would be good to keep the expensive dict tag data attached to the profile. Possibly we simply extent the profile by a meta property?
oy-profiles allows to filter for different profiles and as is be used in various Synnefo profile choosers. One for Oyranos new possibility would be to select by meta data. Currently only device related data (EDID/EXIF/...) is considered. It would make sense to filter for meta data. oyProfiles_Rank() provides an API to do this. However its complicated. It would be more clever to integrate a meta request (key/value pair) into a dummy profile for use filter pattern and pass that to the oyProfiles_Create() API. That way it works like the new file name pattern from the last release (0.9.6).
