Continued profile management: "Modified"

First, I'm very happy with the profile management improvements between v4 and v5, especially the ability to assign settings to preset groups.

I would like there to be a little smarter parsing of profile changes.
Currently, using the preset groups (i. e., Auto-Configure for xx) adds the "(modified)" flag to the printer profile, even if the change is between two previously saved presets. It would be great if a profile was only noted as modified if the base profile changed.

The option to highlight settings that have changed is also great, but similarly, highlighting fields that change with a preset isn't informative if you're trying to identify intentional print quality tuning changes. Highlighting the preset group and setting tab would also be great for finding those so I didn't have to flip through every tab. I don't necessarily remember exactly where I left off if it's been a couple of days since I was working on a project. I don't get to spend 100% of my time printing, so I get interrupted.

Yes, making the changes VERY apparent and clear cut like the open source slicers would be amazing. Reset icons next to changed settings, and confirmation of settings getting changed when loading a new object/process/profile and options to "transfer" the settings.

I agree that parsing profile changes more intelligently and highlighting intentional adjustments would greatly improve workflow efficiency and minimize unnecessary distractions.
