[Added] ColorSync: Fallback scenarios better shown in Preferences

Mr. Lemke and me started some improvements in a videocall.
Before:
- GraphicConverter Preferences Open ColorProfiles.png (359.83 KiB) Viewed 2094 times
Improved sections and labeling (and some behavioral changes) in Build 5648:
- GraphicConverter Preferences Open ColorProfiles b5648.png (86.06 KiB) Viewed 2094 times
Changes in build 5648:
Defaults for section "When opening a file which has no color profile then:"
[ Do nothing (Ignore always) ▾ ]
Default profile: Display P3
[ Change …]
Behavior:
- Do nothing by default. Satisifying for the average user not aware of ColorSync.
- If someone decides for "Assign default profile" then with "Display P3" a good contemporary default profile is already chosen and spares the semi-interested user the decision.
- And the expert user can set it to any other profile here in the prefs or when having the prefs set to "Ask" and choosing "Assign always" in the ad-hoc dialog then this profile gets set to be always used when opening files without a profile.

Style recommendation: Change all "Choose…" buttons to "Change…" buttons.
• "Choose…" is more adequate for initializing.
• "Change…" is true at all times. In combination with "x no profile chosen" and also in combo with a concrete profile.
Bugs:
Preference > Open > Color Profiles > Behavior upon opening RGB image without a profile:
Has these options: Do nothing | Ask | Assign default profile
Default profile: sRGB [ Choose… ]
Bug 1: When I open a file w/o a profile it always assigns the default profile (currently set to sRGB from earlier sessions) also if I have set the behavior to "Do nothing" or "Ask"
Bug 2: Click "Choose…" opens a file chooser. I chose another ICC profile and confirm. The change is not persisted. The profile again is sRGB.

Bug 1: I cannot reproduce that here. I took a WhatsApp image without profile. Opened - no profile is assigned.
Bug 2: fixed in build 5649

16:23 You mentioned build 5649 is available here on the forum.
20:28 GraphicConverter > Check for updates… : Reports that my build 5648 is the newest available beta release.
Usually it's available within 30min or so. Maybe you forgot something?

Ok. Thanks! For the future please:
If you state "Fixed in build XYZ" and nothing more than to me this implicitly means "which I just pushed or will push in the next minutes".
So in a case like this, please add an extra sentence like "ETA in 2 days" or "ETA on Wednesday" or "Will ping here when I push it" or "No idea when I push it." or if you have only a very rough estimate then something like "Check it in earliest in 2 weeks" also does it. Would help.
Anyways: Thank you for all your efforts!

Bug 1: Was a false alarm. Human error. My test file which correctly had "ICC None" in its filename meanwhile indeed got a profile embedded. Must have incidentally added it. Tried with a virginal file w/o a profile and GC asks if set to "Ask".
Ad Bug 2: Waiting for the fix.

In build 5651 this works fine now.
Bug 1: Was truly human error. Never occurred again.
Bug 2: Fixed now.
Changing the profile in the chooser is persisted.
The default profile is preselected in the dialog.
Choosing another profile and then clicking "Assign always" also persists that as the new default profile correctly.
Other: The section headlines/hints were changed too.
