Troubles using a default profile. #2448

    Currently on WoWF when you create a new character it does not use the default profile and instead creates an entirely new profile for that character.
    When using the "set current profile as default" button it appears to only create a profile called "default" which does not even use the current profile's settings. This "default" profile is not used by default when creating a new character.

    Is there a way to have it use the "default" profile as the actual default profile when a character is created instead of creating a brand new profile? Nearly every other addon that uses the profile system (titanbar for example) seems to work this way.

    Right now when I create a new character I have to go to bartender, select the default profile manually and delete the unwanted character specific profile that was auto created. I'd like to have it instead automatically use the default profile. 

    I believe a simple way to have it work both ways very cleanly is the following:
    1. Don't have have a default profile on a fresh install of bartender.
    2. If a default profile is detected on character creation use that profile instead of creating a new profile.

    This way it wont impact the usage of people who are used to the prior behavior as it would only kick in after clicking  "set current profile as default" button or by manually creating a profile called "Default"
