Set (start) profile from command line #80

Closed argento-ar closed 2 years ago

Set a parameter on the command line for selecting the start superpaper profile. Im using superpaper on a notebook, when i use the notebook on the go, of course i have a single screen connected (the internal one), but when using it @ home, i use the lid closed, and two 24" monitors connected to the external ports of the laptop only. I launch superpaper from my .xprofile file , but must adjust my "local" and "on the go" superpaper profiles manually after every launch :(

Yes this could be a nice addition. It would need a large rework of the CLI.

For now, if you can script the way superpaper starts, you could keep superpaper running a default profile and then replace that config file in the script before you run superpaper? Or you could edit the running profile file in the temp folder, superpaper checks that at startup for the profile to resume. This file only contains the name of the profile and it's in ~/. cache/superpaper/temp or wherever your xdg cache is.

good idea hannine!, i think switching the default profile before launch is "cleaner" than modify de temp file, thanks for the suggestion, will work!!
