Hi Igor,
when I make a profile and select it, it doesn't stay on.
Neither after restart, nor immediately when I continue working.

Profiles not sticky
When I select a profile, close the options dialog, then open it again, then I don't have my profile selected any longer. 
The way I would expect profiles to behave is this: I select or make and select a profile and it stays active at least for the entire session (and stays selected in options for control purposes).
One should be able to make it permanently selected for all following sessions via checkbox in options (make the "Manage" button smaller, move the whole profile line flush to the left, add a checkbox or on/off "Permanent" or "Always" button to the right of manage button).
Another point is that you may want to show the user somewhere in the interface which profile is active. Bottom left corner may be a possibility.
Even cooler would be a way to select the profile temporarily right there from a drop-down box. Then you could do away with the "Permanent" checkbox and solve it like this: Profile selected in options: Permanent, profile selected in interface: session only.
That is how it would make sense to me

Hi Igor,
I think it would look better and be more practical if you renamed "Default" to "Default Profile". Then you could do away with "Profile:" in front of the new toolbar button (but at least make it smaller please, because it takes a lot of precious toolbar real estate).
That said though I think it would be better to have the dropdown in the bottom info bar next to "Source only".
Still the selection does not seem sticky. Probably this whole profile thingy still needs some refinement and conceptual work.
Kind regards,
Brahman
