[Bf-committers] Patch: OCIO Parse Colorspace From Filename

[Xavier Thomas]

Hi,

It is difficult to tell from the patch without knowing where the "
IMB_loadifffile" function in readimage.c is called, but I suppose this only
tries to better auto-detect the file's colorspace when the user open a new
image but after that the image colorspace setting is honored.
