montage program does not embed ICC profile in the output file

According to http://www.imagemagick.org/script/montage.php the montage program supports a "-profile" option. And really, presene of this parameter in the command line does not produce any error messages. But it creates output file without embedded ICC profile.
For example (simplest):
- produces "c.tif" that does not contain profile.
At the same time
- produces "c.tif" with embedded profile.
During discussion of this issue snibgo noted that
also does not write to out.jpg the embedded ICC profile that in.jpg has.
Perhaps, the latter is "by design", but the first problem (with the "-profile" option) looks like a bug.
(ImageMagick v7.0.0-0 and v6.9.3-7 on my computer. ImageMagick v6.9.2-5 on snibgo's system.)
For example (simplest):
Code: Select all
montage a.jpg -profile a.icc a.tifAt the same time
Code: Select all
convert a.jpg -profile a.icc a.tifDuring discussion of this issue snibgo noted that
Code: Select all
montage in.jpg out.jpgPerhaps, the latter is "by design", but the first problem (with the "-profile" option) looks like a bug.
