Yes, and that's on purpose, as it shows the danger of trying to extract 
semantics from file names.

I agree. IMO it should also be explicit that the file name matters when 
it comes to colour interpretation. I think an option "Guess colour space 
from filename" with a bit more explanation in the tooltip would suffice.

What would happen with AdobeRGB data in "planks_linear.jpg"? In other 
words, who wins when the filename and embedded profile are conficting?
