Hi,
how can I safe configurations to another path, instead of using ~?
I need this for audio applications, to restore different audio sessions and to get different profiles for some applications.
If I run HOME=/home/rocketmouse/alt_profiles/1 xfce4-terminal --maximize by xfce4-terminal the path gets completely ignored, all settings still are stored to /home/rocketmouse and not to the path /home/rocketmouse/alt_profiles/1.
If I run HOME=/home/rocketmouse/alt_profiles/1 xfce4-terminal --maximize by the Xfce panel launcher I get "Failed to execute child process "HOME=/home/rocketmouse/alt_profiles/1" (No such file or directory)".
If I run HOME=/home/rocketmouse/alt_profiles/1 gedit something is saved to /home/rocketmouse/alt_profiles/1, but it doesn't effect gedit. If I change settings, the settings are only used if I run gedit if I run HOME=/home/rocketmouse/alt_profiles/1 gedit gedit starts using it's defaults. The only good, t doesn't use the settings saved to /home/rocketmouse , as it does if I launch it by gedit.
Unless I have missed something I think one of the audio session-managers should help you on the audio side, not so sure about other apps though. Jack-session and ladish work well for me unless I have misunderstood. Non-session is also popular although I have not tried that myself yet.
