Chromium Portable start with parameters: several profiles

Hi,

At this point adding parameters to AdditionalParameters key in ChromiumPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\ChromiumPortable.ini applies to default browser profile only, and when I create another profiles from inside browser they are created like if no parameters were specified during browser start.

How can I have those AdditionalParameters parameters applied to not just one ChromiumPortable user profile? Or where can I specify parameters for other profiles than default one.

Sure I can specify some parameters inside the profile using flags, but not all of desired parameters can be set using flags, some require to be set as an arguments/parameters of .exe.

Any Chromium based browser

Any Chromium based browser can be portable by itself. No need for portableapps

Make shortcut of a chromium.exe

Open Properties of that shortcut

In Target after chrome.exe add --user-data-dir="12345"

12345 is the name of your profile, it can be anything.

Map with that name will be crated in the same map as chrome.exe

You can make 2, 3, 5 or more shutcuts with different profiles.

You can even lauch/run them all at the same time. Biggrin

Extra Bits

As with most 'portable' solutions, this will leave extra bits behind on the local machine and won't adjust paths as you move between machines.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
