## Steps to reproduce
1. Ensure that the ~/.config/DisplayCAL/DisplayCAL-synthprofile.ini file
doesn't exist.
2. Launch DisplayCAL.
3. Select the "Create synthetic ICC profile" option in the Tools > Advanced
menu.
## Current behavior
Program errors with the following traceback:
```text

## Known workaround
Manually create the ~/.config/DisplayCAL/DisplayCAL-synthprofile.ini
file, with the following content:
```ini
[Default]
```
