libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

[MountainX]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

When I open Element-desktop in a console, I see thousands of lines printed with this warning:

libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

I would like the warning to show the filename of the problematic image.

Why would you like to do it?

The warning indicates that the image's color profile needs to be converted.

How would you like to achieve it?

If the faulty images are part of the Element package, identifying them would allow devs to convert the faulty images. If they are my images, I can convert them.

Have you considered any alternatives?

This will be a warning printed by libpng from electron (I assume you're talking about the desktop app?), so not something we really have control over unfortunately. I can tell you I don't get the same warnings on macOS, so it's probably not one of the Element assets (I think there are hardly any PNGs anyway), or it could be platform difference (you also haven't said what platform you're on).

One theory to try: could this be images with a specific colour profile being thumbnailed by the homeserver which is not processing the colour profile correctly?
