Multiple profiles support

Hey guys,

Is there any plan to build in support for multiple profiles in Opera as a GUI feature (not manual changes)? I seem more and more dependant in switching between my Home/Work/Guest profile, and Chrome supports this very smoothly, making it a game breaker.

Maybe there is a plugin that I am not aware of? Is there a feature request tracker that I am not aware of where this can be suggested?

Cheers!

Anyone knows how to do it via command line in the meantime?

Hi @zalex108, thank you for your answer but I don't really understand the procedure. After doing all that how do I open the different profiles?

I read https://dev.opera.com/blog/installing-multiple-opera-builds-with-separate-profiles-on-mac/ but it says to use the -csp command line switch.

That link is for Opera 11, just need to create shortcuts: Points 1 & 4.

"Path to Opera App" --user-data-dir="Path to custom profile"

@zalex108 Hi! Does this work in 2018?

I made shortcuts on my Mac, wrote in Terminal:

/Applications/Opera_2.app --user-data-dir=/Users/user/newFolder but it shows -bash: /Applications/Opera_2.app: is a directory. What's my mistake?

Is the current Opera named _2!?

I think you have to use Opera.app, then add the new profile path.
