Mypal.exe -p opens the browser directly, not the profile manager.
Should it? Neither "-h" nor "--help" promise this (because they do not exist too :smile:).
mypal --ProfileManager
does work.
These things are to be the same as firefoxes
" -P <profile> Start with <profile>."
" --profile <path> Start with profile at <path>."
" --migration Start with migration wizard."
" --ProfileManager Start with ProfileManager."
" --no-remote Do not accept or send remote commands; implies --new-instance."
" --new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance."
" --UILocale <locale> Start with <locale> resources as UI Locale."
" --safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session."
Also -purgecaches needed after messing with js code inside the browser or extensions.
How to obtain a complete list of command line parameters from Mypal? Unlike Firefox, -?
, -h
, --help
do not work.
mypal.exe --ProfileManager
doesn't work for me either.
Mypal 68.14 portable in Win7/32.

What is "Mypal portable"? Is it Mypal processed by some utility? Or original Mypal in a portable mode? If the latter, then in which one exactly? (there are 3 different ones)
mypal-68.14.4.en-US.win32 located in D:\ with a new profile in the app folder. Works perfectly except the PM, which stopped working after a few days.

If "the app folder" is a subfolder of Mypal's folder, then how do you get Mypal to use this profile?
Part of Mypal folder:
Do you know Firefox?
about:profiles
> Create a New Profile
...
This is really portable!

Nope. When you create profile in this way, Mypal stores path to it into %appdata%\Mypal68\profiles.ini
. And when you will launch Mypal on another system later, it will not find this profile automatically.
If you want a really portable way, you should either provide a --profile
command line switch (see @Feodor2 message above), or use "pmprt.mod" or "pmundprt.mod" flag file.
(I use mypal --profile Profile
on my computer routinely.)
Ok, I see it's similar to chrome.exe --user-data-dir= But the profile manager not working is NOT SOLVED.

What happens when you use mypal --ProfileManager
? Browser just opens window?
Does this happen on all your computers or only on one/some of them?
Just like I said, it opens Mypal directly, not PM. But ATENTION: I solved it... Just deleted pmprt.mod in browser folder!!! That's amazing, because that file was empty, 0KB.

I mentioned this file yesterday. Because of https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/wiki/Portable

Exactly as designed. It's a flag file, its content is irrelevant, but only its presence.
Thank you, something is always learned.
