Just wondering if anyone knows how to set a saved publish profile as the default i.e. profile that's automatically loaded when I select publish. I love the new profile approach but I'm a bit over having to reselect the same profile over and over while I'm developing.

On the computer where you have the ASP.NET project open in Visual Studio, right-click the project in Solution Explorer, and choose Publish. If you have previously configured any publishing profiles, the Publish pane appears. Click New or Create new profile. Select the option to import a profile.
The default location for $(MSBuildSDKsPath) (with Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise) is the %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Sdks folder. Microsoft.
In VS2012 and up, you can set the Default Publish Profile by right-clicking on the .xml profile file and clicking the Set As Default Publish Profile option. It will then be auto-loaded when you click to Publish the project.

So I've just discovered how to do this, right click on the specific .xml file (e.g. Debug.publish.xml) that you wish to publish and it is automatically loaded into the Publish panel.
Double clicking the XML file also works
The latest Visual Studio 2012 Updates also now include right click options for:
1 - Set as default
2 - Publish
