What is "lisr" ?

You are right ;)

I tried again now, and it isn't enough to quit and cold start Cingg again.
For better or for worse Cingg seemingly remember the last used profile.
I had to switch one (or two times) to another profile before the profile 
content was updated.

But why is there two similar locations for profiles and which one is 
used by Cingg?

    /Cin/bin/ffmpeg/video
    /Cin/ffmpeg/video


Another thing, though off-topic here: the file menu has many useful 
shortcuts like Shift-R for rendering, but none for Load recent file ;)
