Roger,
the products dropRGB and CMYKick do not need any prior setup.
Maybe you are referring to "print", which is the basICColor profiler offering the possibility to influence the profiling parameters in all details.
There you have 3 possible workflows.
Load (or drag & drop) a CGATS file, select a preset (btw: one of them is the fully automated CMYKick and dropRGB respectively), get profile.
Click a preset and select a CGATs file.
Load a CGATS file, make the settings and calculate there profile.
-> Full freedom. Just work as you like to.
You can even select multiple presets and start a batch calculation to test a bunch of settings.
Regarding CGATS flavours.
Personally I successfully tested:
Files created by catch (basICColor's measurement application)
Files created by IMProve (app to analyze and modify measurements)
Files from Colorport & MeasureTool
Files from Heidelberg Colortool
Files from ClrChart (software delivered with the ColorScout xy-stage)
All of them in the ASCII style, the new ISO 28178 xml flavor does not work (and I know only of Heidelberg Colortool which can create and load them, I'd be interested if there is more support out there)
You can even load measurement and chart definition files separately.
Best regards
Claas

Andrew, for sticking to the original poster question, und Karl for "incidently" pointing out that, with some other ICC profiling package, it is as "simple" as drag and drop. The truth, as Andrew pointed out, is that "it is as simple as drag and drop too in i1Profiler". I might add that the i1Profiler interface could be daunting, at first glance, but it should be mentioned that basICColor automatic "queues" need prior setup, unless the user sticks to the default queue setups. It uses a "client-server" architecture, unlike i1Profiler and ProfileMakerPro and Argyll and many others who use a "client-client" (for lack of better term) architecture, in which the user goes through a bunch of settings, press the button and voilà!, an ICC profile.
