[Qgis-user] Have QGIS prompt for profile to use everytime ?

[Charles Dixon-Paver]

If you don't want to bother with a full blown python app, on windows you
could pretty easily make a "custom-profile-qgis.cmd" batchfile with
something like the following:

------------------------------------------------------------

@echo off
@setlocal enableextensions
@cd /d "%~dp0"

Set "MYPROFILE=default"
ECHO Please type the name of your user profile:
Set /P "MYPROFILE="

%COMSPEC% /C "CALL C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\qgis.bat --profile %MYPROFILE% %*"

------------------------------------------------------------

Changing the QGIS startup batch location of course. You could also probably
extend it easily with https://ss64.com/nt/choice.html

Then your "shortcut" will prompt you for the profile you want to use.

I reckon pulling off the same in bash is also pretty trivial...
