I gather from reading the manual and searching the forums that it is possible to reverse a profile, but what I read there does not match up with my experience. The manual says (under "Profile Dialog"):
"When using the profile tool a blue dot will continuously cycle through the track, in order, on the main map window. This shows the current direction of the track. To reverse the direction of the track right click in the main window and select Reverse Last Segment."
Selecting the Profile tool I left click on a track and a profile appears. But I don't see any blue dot cycling through the track. I then try right clicking on the main window, both on the selected track and elsewhere - after the former the yellow highlighting around the track disappears but I can see no other change (the profile window is still displayed), whereas the latter has no effect at all (and no popup selections appear).
I was able to get something like the above (e.g. cycling blue dot and merged tracks) by first opening a profile a then switching to use of the Merge tool. Was that supposed to be implied in the manual or is my "Profile tool right-click" inoperative for some reason.
Also, I read a forum post saying "... I know I can use the "v" key to do this with the Profile Tool". But when I try hitting the "v" key -- both when the profile window is active and when the main window is active -- it has no effect. (And for good measure I also tried the "r" key).
