Command line switches

Mypal.exe -p opens the browser directly, not the profile manager.

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 😄).

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.

[Jasantes]

mypal.exe --ProfileManager doesn't work for me either.

Mypal 68.14 portable in Win7/32.

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)

[Jasantes]

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?

[Jasantes]

Part of Mypal folder:

Do you know Firefox?
about:profiles > Create a New Profile...
This is really portable!

[zanud]

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.)

[Jasantes]

Ok, I see it's similar to chrome.exe --user-data-dir=
But the profile manager not working is NOT SOLVED.

[zanud]

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?

[Jasantes]

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.

Just deleted pmprt.mod in browser folder!!!

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

That's amazing, because that file was empty, 0KB.

Exactly as designed. It's a flag file, its content is irrelevant, but only its presence.

Thank you, something is always learned.
