Summary0001231: Show the actual color conversion (XYZ converted back to sRGB) in preview window
Description

When choosing different color conversions, DCP-o-matic always renders the preview window using the assumed source color space (not the applied conversion).
Why not applying the actual source -> XYZ conversion and back to sRGB, so people can actually see the results of their chosen color conversion setting? I know this will always suffer from the differences between typical sRGB/rec.709 and proper DCI displays, but it would still make sense to judge the effect of color conversion. Would the forth-and-back conversion have a major impact on playback/preview performance? Would it work with the current playback scheme at all?

Maybe offer a switch below the preview window 'Display source/target colors'.?
Could make things even more irritating maybe...?

Definitely worth thinking about; the current situation is from more innocent times when people weren't expecting precise gamma etc. from the preview. It's also quicker to do this... but I haven't profiled how bad it would be to do thing properly. We could have a switch, as you say, if it's bad.
