Profile Picker functional- (moved to later milestone. 3/26) replaced with the ability to pick the profile based on some simple rules rather than by user input. Here are the M4 rules.
  • If zero profiles exist, use CWD
  • else if -P"profile_name" command line option given, use that profile
  • else if exactly 1 profile exists, use it
  • else if current profile set in registry, use it
  • else use the first profile returned from the registry query.
