CPU mining with profit switching in AM dev 3.2.2)

Q: How do I set up CPU mining with profit switching in AM?

Problem 1:
I can see 'CpuMiner-Opt 3.4.6 (CPU)' under 'managed software'.
But it is NOT available/selectable in the profit profiles -> no CPU mining!
Does any else notice the same?

Because of this I created a 'user defined mining software' entry for a CPU miner (Configured as [full compatibility with 'CpuMiner-Opt 3.4.6 (CPU)]).
I also selected all supported algos as for 'CpuMiner-Opt 3.4.6 (CPU)'
So far so good. BUT:

Problem 2:
The custom miner config is missing the same functionality (Default command line argument, User defined command line argument) as for built-in miners. This will lead to P3 further down  Shocked

Problem 3:
The custom miner does not get any parameters passed to it. Result:

Starting Diagnostics
...


What am I doing wrong?

1) The CPU miner is currently not included in the profit switcher. Most people run the profit switcher with GPU mining software, so adding and testing for CPU mining wasn't a priority. I can add it to the list for the next version.

2+3) I found a problem related to the profit switcher here, so I will correct that and hopefully it was for the scenario you described here.
