Thanks Yoric for the note here! :) Hi @Andrea, I was also working on HTML version since I heard that XUL is going to go away soon. I used React. Here is a preview of the GUI, the filter feature (by default profiles are sorted alpha-numerically ascending, that can be changed in the options page) (preferences can be set to affect across all profiles, or just the current one).
Heres a quick screencast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziTbU9RzZYU Also @Andrea are we going to change how profiles.ini is used? I used react in html, and I've been working on getting react to work in the xul scope so I can drop this menu item brainlessly into the main menu panel as in Profilist v1 and v2. Thanks I hope I can work closely with you here.
