Highlight linked files with mismatched color profiles.
It would be great if there was an option to either highlight or have a warning icon applied to links in the links list when there is a mismatched color profile. It would save me lots of time when hunting down links that need to be changed to match the working space when I am cleaning up a complex composition.

Thank you for the comment. Generally we deal with fairly complex compositions with a large amount of linked images. There are cases where the links are files with the wrong color profile and when opening the file I get assaulted with the usual warning dialog boxes. I'm only given the option to either "Use the embedded profile" or "Discard the embedded profile" - both which are not what I want. (There's no option to convert). The dialog box doesn't even tell me the name of the linked image that is causing the issue. So what I ususally do is select "Use the embedded profile" and then hunt down the file in the links panel which takes time since I have to hope that the wrong CMYK profile is showing in the file info there. It would save me a ton of time if they were highlighted or had an icon and I could just find the offending files and re-link to a version of the image with the correct profile.

Oh, what a great request! I like it a lot. I can’t say I need to hunt them down though, because in most cases I’m good with the conversion...
Can you tell about the workflow you have that requires to know for sure which links get converted?
