The only time I can think of that being a problem is if you are doing things backwards.  The order of settings on the Printers and Settings tab is the order you should be doing things.  For example, select your printer, then the media type, then media size, and so on.  As long as you do things in the proper order, there should not be a problem.  If you select a new media type, when would you not want Qimage to bring back the last profile used for that printer and media type?  Those were the remembered settings for that printer and media type.  The only answer I can think of is if you are doing things backwards: picking a profile first and then wanting to change to the media type you intend to use for that profile.  If that's what is happening, my answer is: do things in the proper order.  That is, pick your printer, then media type so Qimage knows the context for the changes that are to follow, and then select your profile.

And of course, the best general answer here is to always create printer setups for all your printers and their associated media so that you are only fooling with settings one time per printer and media type.  That way there is no need to change settings like profile, driver, etc. when you want to use a certain media with a certain printer (and profile); you just recall that printer setup and there's no question what you are getting.

It's a 1:1 relationship no matter how you do it so it makes more sense to select what printer you are using, then there will be a dozen or so media types for that printer, and that dictates the profile.  Then you can drill down from the printer to the media rather than searching through potentially hundreds of random profiles for random printers.  Just makes more sense to start at the top rather than down in the weeds.

That's correct.  Best you can do to identify them is by file name.  The profile may have a manufacturer and a type (printer,monitor,etc.) but that's it.
