LR 4 and DNG camera profiles custom... they are not incorporated?

I have a few days colorchecker passport.

my workflow:

import the. Copy as DNG memorycard CR2 raw files in lightroom.

create a profile DNG camera with the colorchecker passport (LR export-> xrite colorchecker).

then I choose the created profile camera and I set the whitebalance.

everything works fine... as it should.

My problem is, I Don t want to have DNG profiles 100, I will of course create as much on time, on my hard drive.

I think that it s messy and it s also not save very striking patterns only in the form of separate files, in case you lose the profiles.

I thought that the camera profile can be embedded IN the DNG file.

I thought that the profile of the camera is written in the DNG files when I rewrite the metadata in the files... but apparently not.

It seems that the DNG camera profile is only incorporated in the DNG image file when I EXPORT the DNG file with the dialog box export LR.

for example:

I choose the profile from the 'MY 5 D MK2 PROFIL_1' camera for a picture and then save the metadata in the DNG image file.

Then I delete the camera profile "MY 5 D MK2 PROFIL_1" of hard drive.

the next time I open LR and select the same image... the cameraprofile returned to the 'adobe standard' and the profile that I created has disappeared.

When I EXPORT the image in DNG, then even after I deleted the DNG cameraprofile "MY 5 D MK2 PROFIL_1" from the hard drive... the profile is still in the DNG image.

that s what I want... but I have to export all the files as DNG files.

I really want to get rid of this extra step.

I hope that my English is good enough, so you understand what is my problem.

can anyone share a light on that?

is this the only way to ship from the camera or im DNG profile do something wrong?

Intel i7 2600 k, win7 64 bit, 16 GB ram, LR 4 final.

Instead of simply to save the metadata, you must choose the command preview DNG was updated and the metadata located in the Photo menu. Simply save the metadata is only to save the settings, but integrate the new preview and the DNG profile.
