--- Comment #5 from Storm Engineer <storm.ant...@gmail.com> ---
I agree that the current behavior is confusing and difficult to use. I would
like to suggest the following behavior from the GUI's/user's perspective:

 - Have following buttons/combobox options next to list: New, Load, Save,
Delete, Rename, Export, Import
 - "New" adds a new empty profile to the list
 - "Load" loads the selected profile into current settings. Display warning if
current settings has unsaved changes.
 - "Save" saves current into selected profile. Display "Are you sure you want
to overwrite?" warning.
 - "Delete" and "Rename" does just that on selected profile. Warning for
deleting, obviously.
 - "Import" and "Export" would be the only options requiring the user to select
files, should be used for making backups, sharing settings with others, etc.
 - If changes are made, display "modified" in place of selected profile to
clearly indicate that current settings are not reflecting a profile anymore and
are unsaved.

Thus the only actions that would modify current settings are hitting Load, or
making manual changes, and the only action modifying saved profiles is hitting
Save. Saving, loading, creating and deleting would be seamless without the user
having to select file paths.
