Thanks again!

Your solution filled the previous' gaps, i am fully satisfied with this. The 3rd party launches are managable with the combination of these, registy editing is not needed, not a problem!
Backing up is already a routine, now if i know where the folders what matter (because can be more, and i am who created tehm), easy to take care of.

@zalex108
My goal is kinda what you mentioned, what you would like to avoid!
My issues were if i know one addon, or something will break with the next release, i have to stay on current release with everithing...
Also e..g. I only can direct to an .exe file as "the default browser" in windows, not to a shortcut.

But I just tested it (forgot the keyword from the previous tip (thanks localization...), so i installed as default, not standalone, my bad, but does not matter), and it works basicly like what i wanted to reach, excellent tip! I have created 2 extra profiles, but if a program opened the browser, it defaulted to the default profile. To avoid the "one exe" problem, i just install an other backup as mentioned previously. All decided on the shortcuts anyways!

Thank you for the excellent solution!

@leocg Thanks for the information!

So after installing 4 standalone, they locked to a profile... Ok to me!
But can they be opened/closed freely, independently?

@leocg said in Multi instance usage with multiple profiles at the same time (?):

@ledgeri The only solution would be to install Opera on standalone mode for each of the profiles you want to create.

HI!

I would like to know if it is reachable (and how) to have a multiple isntances of Opera (gx) running with using multiple profiles?
My solution with firefox is currently i have 4 seperate instalment. All release version. Also i have 4 individual profile folder.
Each instalment has its own profile {but could start any profile} (one for main usage, one for listening music, one is “vanilla” and one is as a “default browser” in case something wants to open a browser [game “news” button, programs’ “download the upgrade now” buttons etc.]), and all has its own addon-pack, history, etc.
Any can be opened next to any other what is running… there is no unvanted crosstalk. Even all 4 can run at the same time.

Is this system/goal is reacheble with Opera? (My high bet is on yes, hence chromium based browsers can run next to each other, but i never thought about an “in brand” solution…)
