First class profile switching from the GUI

[ghost]

Hello. How is it possible to create more profiles (mainly with different proxy settings)? Like FireFox and Chrome has. I’ve tried to not install Midori, downloaded and built it in two separate and different folders but it does not work. Thanks.

Basically, you can create new windows of the same browser but with permanently different settings (separated).

Right now you can do this but it's rather manual, that is to say if you're comfortable with setting custom environment variables and know the purpose of each.

What I'd like to do is come up with a design that integrates the optional sync feature so. I'll try and provide a mockup soon.

I do not mind doing it manually but how can I do it?

I’ve tried to build the app in two separate folders but it did not help. Even if I changed the name in CMake (I hoped it could work, possibly).

The manual work-around is to use environment variables to override settings, for example $XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp/test midori will run Midori with a profile in the folder /tmp/test. Different binaries will indeed use the same files.
