Re: What are the `private instance' and `--profile=' options?

[hliauw <hliauw gmail com>]

Hi, I was playing around with --profile recently. From my limited
understanding it basically specify which profile/configuration to use. it
allows you to have epiphany running with different configurations. 

Say, if you run epiphany as follow: 
epiphany -p --profile=~/epiphanyProfile1
and then specify in the Preference panel that it should use 100MB of Disk
Space for Temporary files. It will keep the configuration under
epiphanyProfile1 folder. Next time you run epiphany with the same options,
it will remember to use 100MB. 

Then if you run epiphany as follow, and epiphanyProfile2 folder is empty:
epiphany -p --profile=~/epiphanyProfile2
this instance of epiphany will use the default configuration of 50MB for
Temporary Files. 


--profile option requires -p (which is the private instance option) to run.
but I dunno why. can someone else explain this?
