a New feature has been been added but can not be activated until a UI file is changed - another submission.
This new feature will utilize the current displayed range as the custom range.
Other wise the Overview custom range uses the values from the calendar.

to act differently from profiles after a subsequent application launch.
It was only getting set at the end of Profile::OpenMachines, which was only
called by the Profile constructor, and which wouldn't succeed on a newly created
profile, having no files to open. Therefore, the only way for the flag to be set
was to quit and re-launch the application after creating the profile.
The flag's only remaining use was to make sure that OpenMachines() wasn't
getting called twice and trampling an existing list of machines, so the check
there was changed from looking at a brittle flag to looking at the actual list
of machines.
A critical warning was also added to the check, since OpenMachines() is
only getting called from the Profile constructor and therefore can't
be invoked twice unless a new bug has been introduced.
Currently there is a very messy tangle of dependencies between
loaders, machines, sessions, and profiles. Right now the
simplest way to create a test loader instance is to create
a test profile, under which the machine and session instances
will exist.
