Profile your secondary monitor first, and change the default name PhotoCal
wants to assign it. This will define it as your default monitor profile, but
save it in a way it will not be overwritten by the next profile you build,
and allow you to tell which profile it is. Then profile your primary monitor,
and name it something other than what you called the first one. Now it will
be set as your default monitor since it was profiled last. Under the colors
settings on each monitor, select the profiles for each on the appropriate
screen, so that the monitors control panel has each properly associated (in
case it does not already). This should overwrite previous profiles and
aliases in the displays folder. Don't attempt to manually change profile
copies or aliases in this folder, let them auto-update.
