      It would be very useful if every profile had its own launcher, so that external programs (like bots, mice software, streaming software, hardwares, basically everything) could access the personalization of the experience in an easier way.
      I could make some examples: for instance, I might need to access a specific profile browser during a stream, and I might want the action automatized trough a bot, or a single hotkey command, but right now it will always open the main launcher of OperaGx, and there's no way to have it set differently, which means that I have to do extra steps to get to use my profile of choice instead of the main profile, which means I have to waste time on the stream to do it properly.
      Another example where this would be very useful is personalization of hardware, for instance, a mouse, where I might be able to set every button ina different way for every single profile, but right now is impossible to do so, and instead, OperaGx used through profiles is not even detected as "OperaGx", and is instead detected as a "???" application, not allowing to personalize the mouse in any way at all, not even talking about differentiation for every profile.
      Another other example can be a Stream Deck, where profile can't be accessed at all because of the absence of a launcher, therefore is impossible to access profiles through hardware, but you necessarily need to go into your desktop, select the desired profile and go from there.
      Although all of this is not the end of the world, it takes away a big chunk of personalization and utilities that OperaGx could have, seen that I could have 3/4 different profiles personalized on what I need to do specifically in any situation, considering both softwares and hardwares, and it would be made so much easier if we had access to a launcher for any specific profile (there might be another way to have this level of accessibility from external software, but I thought the launcher was the easiest, but again, I'm not sure).
      Thanks for listening!
