      Editing global toolchain profiles is painful with the current built-in equipment. While it is possible to use an export/import roundtrip approach for manual editing, it doesn't feel comfortable either.

      Instead, why not support profiles specified in a QML file? This would be very user-friendly, efficient, and qt.

      Example:

      Profile {
    name : "bla"
    final : true // inheritance is impossible
    readOnly : true // can not be overwritten
    baseProfile : "myProfile"

    Affects { name : "cpp" }
    cpp.commonCompilerFlags : "xxx"
}

      QML profiles are not supposed to replace current profile configuration. Instead, they could serve as starting point, being read initially before applying other preferences.
