I can't open the profile manager for PM 28.0.0a4 portable

Unread post by badnick » 2018-06-20, 09:55

I want to create a new profile but the profiles manager can't be open using the commands:

"D:\PM-portabil\Palemoon-Portable.exe"\ -ProfileManager
or
"D:\PM-portabil\Palemoon-Portable.exe"\ -P

Those commands just start the browser, not the Profile manager.
What is wrong here?

Use "D:\PM-portabil\Bin\Palemoon\palemoon.exe -p" (or "D:\PM-portabil\Bin\Palemoon\palemoon.exe -p -no-remote" - if another instance of Pale Moon is running)

The backslash in your post, is that intended to be there?

In any case, you are supplying the command-line parameter to the "portableapps", what do you call it, "trigger", aka "Palemoon-Portable.exe" rather then to the Pale Moon executable, palemoon.exe.

I don't know how the "portable" aspect plays in, but if you went into D:\PM-portabil\Palemoon-Portable.exe\Bin\Palemoon\ the palemoon.exe executable in there will surely accept -P or -ProfileManager parameters.

if you want an installed version, use an installer.

Seriously, you're starting Pale Moon's binary, not the portable. As a result you are using the program not in portable mode and your profiles will be in the regular installed location but without the advantaged of actually having installed the browser.
If you want multiple profiles of the portable, then make copies of the portable in different folders.

I see, PM portable has no "no remote" capabilities. (I changed the location of the new profile in to the PM- portable profile folder)
