Possible to Manage Lens Correction Profiles?

The new Manage Profiles option in the Basic panel of the Develop module is a nice add. But I wish there was a way to do something similar in the Lens Corrections panel. I am using a Leica M 262 camera, but with Zeiss and Voightlander lenses, not Leica lenses, so no EXIF data for them is passed to Lightroom. While most of the lenses I use are listed in the drop down Lens Profile menu, going through that entire list each time to select and apply the needed Corrections is laborious. It would be nice to be able to just "favorite" the few that I use. Is this possible?

    While it's not as nice as an option to manage the profiles from Lightroom, you could do this manually. Each lens profile is a small text file, so you can remove all the lens profiles that you don't use anyway. You do not say which OS you are using (MacOS or Windows), so here are the locations of both:

    Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0

    MacOS: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0
