Hi everyone,

I really like Joplin and use it on desktop and mobile. It's great, and my usage has expanded to multiple profiles (work, shared, private).  
Often I want to look up something within a particular profile. I open the app and switch to the profile I want by selecting it and restarting Joplin. This is cumbersome. It would be great to be able to create a shortcut on the home screen to open a specific profile directly.  
Perhaps a "create shortcut" button could be added to the profile configuration dialog.

Thanks for considering this feature request. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on this idea.

This would be a great feature! App shortcut that would automatically start the app with a certain profile
