How to create separate shortcuts for different profiles on mac?
Thanks for your patience on this Francisv!
There's going to be a little trial and error here so please bear with me.
Can you try the string you've already tried, but leave the quotes off of your profile directory? Like this but with your username:
--profile-directory=Default
Let me know results, this may be the only change you need to make 😃
I'm definitely doing something wrong/ don't know what to do... Do i first create an alias and change it in terminal?
Maybe I just wait until you can implement something in the settings that would make it easy to do for non technical people like me 😕

Thanks for your help
Francisv I'm going to be honest, I don't work with Macs often so I don't know exactly where to find this but the name of the profile has to be the directory name, not the friendly name. So if you go to the Edge Dev directory you should see names something like "Profile 1" "Profile 2" and so on. That's what you'll need to use for that argument!
If you'd rather wait for a more friendly UI or a more complete guide I totally understand, I'll flag to the team that more clarity on how to set this up would be great 😃
Thank you for your help but I think I'm just missing a little knowledge to make this happen.
If the implementation in the UI is going to take some time, perhaps it could be worth it to have someone take 10 minutes to do a little tutorial with 2-3 screenshots.
I would probably make a few people like me pretty happy!
Thanks again
