"Simply create a new profile" with the Wireshark GUI, or "simply create a new
profile" by creating a directory by hand from outside Wireshark?

The process for creating a new profile in the Wireshark GUI is:

    in Wireshark 1.x, with the GTK+ UI, to go to Edit -> Configuration
Profiles, click the "New" button, enter the new profile's name under "Profile
name:", and click "OK";

    in Wireshark 2.x, with the Qt UI, to go to Edit -> Configuration Profiles,
click the "+" button (which is the same as the "New" button in the GTK+ UI),
enter the new profile's name in the text field that button adds (which is the
equivalent of the "Profile name:" text box in the GTK+ UI), and click "OK";

so, no, the process didn't change very much between 1.x and 2.x - or, rather,
between the GTK+ and Qt UI (2.0.x also has a "legacy" version, still using the
GTK+ UI, and its dialog for editing configuration profiles is the same as in
1.x).

Creating a directory by hand wasn't the official way of creating a new profile
in 1.x.
