Ed,
what you describe is simply not possible. WSJT-X has to have a current
configuration, if you want to delete the current configuration then
another must become current. If you don't want the current configuration
and you don't want to switch to another then all you need do is reset
the current configuration, that will shift all settings to defaults, as
if you had installed WSJT-X for the first time, with the exception that
any other configurations you have created will be preserved.

Bill,
It's not true that, "[i]f you no longer want a configuration then you surely
are going to select a different one." I delete configurations regularly --
at the end of a DXpedition or contest, for example -- without a desire to
switch to some other configuration at that moment. It's just housekeeping,
so that the number of saved configurations does not grow without bound. At
a club station that I visit, due to member turnover, changing interests, and
equipment changes unused configurations are deleted frequently.
If I delete a current configuration, I expect the program to delete the
storage of the current configuration and remove the current configuration
name from the pull-down configuration list and the status bar at the bottom
of the main window, but otherwise do nothing detectable to the user -- it's
just a configuration that is no longer selectable, so the user cannot return
to the current configuration once he leaves it. If I delete the last
remaining configuration, I would expect the program to operate as if the
configuration feature did not exist -- i.e., it would stay with its present
settings, but all future settings changes would have to be entered manually,
as there would be no user-accessible memory of, well, prior settings
configurations, until a new configuration was saved.

One other thing - would be more intuitive if one could delete a
configuration without having to open another one first!

Hi Alan,
I'm not sure I follow this request. If you no longer want a configuration
then you surely are going to select a different one, OTOH if you want to
reset a configuration to defaults you can do that whether it is the current
one or not. If we allowed deleting the current configuration then which
configuration should be substituted? What should the common edge case of
only having one configuration and deleting it do?
