Would it be possible to launch a game with a certain profile via a shortcut?

[JonVonBasslake]

So, I have two modded Skyrim SE profiles, one for regular modded and one for turning the game into a dungeon crawler of sorts.

Could I somehow create a desktop shortcut that launches the game with a specific profile, instead of having to go into NMM and change it manually?

i would also like an option to do this.

i do not want Vortex open at all times and do not want to have to launch Vortex and choose which profile to load each time.

just being able to launch a certain game with a certain profile from a simple shortcut or bat file would make things much better/easier.

At the moment I believe the only way to do this would be to have multiple Vortex profiles rather than multiple game profiles.

I believe this could be accomplished with the 

---user-data

command line.

 

I don't know if anything else here would be helpful: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/wiki/MODDINGWIKI-Users-Troubleshooting-Command-Line-Parameters

There's an option on a Profile's card to create shortcut on desktop.

Ohh, new options!  Can someone say what "Set reference profile" means?  I'm guessing that "Init Collection" means to make a collection from the chosen profile.

That'd be from "Compare Profiles" extension, which sets up the profile that it's to reference.
