P: When changing presets the profile resets back to Adobe standard, even if profile isn't checke

I don't have camera profiles in my presets and it is still causing a problem if the preset contains anything else in the basics panel.

I have realised that the functionality of the "treatment and profile" check box is actually the opposite of all the other checkboxes. If it is not set then it will change the profile back to adobe standard. If it is set then the profile stays as it was. Seems a bit odd to change the operation of this check box out of line with all the others.

Also the standard lightroom presest supplied by adobe can not be moved or deleted and they take up a lot of valuable real estate at the top of the presets panel. A lot of users will never use these and there needs to be an option to move or delete them.

The only time I can reproduce something like what you are referring to is if the Preset has a Camera Profile included in it. Then when applying that preset it changes whatever camera profile you assign the image in the Profile section of the Basic panel.
I don't see an easy way of editing out that camera profile except to right click on the preset and select Show in Finder/Explorer (Mac/Win File Manager) and then open the XMP file in the text editor and remove the camera profile entry.
This only works for preset not created and supplied by Adobe.  Although if you go directly to the folder the Adobe supplied preset are in you can delete and or edit the XMP file.

I'm not able to reproduce this. If I create a profile with "Treatment & Profile" unchecked and apply the preset, the profile is not changed.

Can you provide more detailed steps to reproduce or create a video of what you're doing so we can try and reproduce?
