Startup PrusaSlicer with printer profile preselected
I'm interested in setting up desktop shortcuts to start the slicer with a specific printer profile preselected. I have several printers and it's kind of a pain to ensure I'm selecting the desired printer profile. It's just kind of clunky as is. I couldn't find any command line switch's to accomplish this. It this possible?

Yes, that's possible: create separate configuration directories for all your different configurations. Create shortcuts for each configuration - the difference should be the in the cli option
--datadir=<path/to/individual-config>

Don't bother with any of that. Just open up saved project files. Save a project with your needed print/filament/printer combo. Then just open it. As a project stores all that anyway. That's what some of us have been doing for years.
As long as your system is set to open PS on double clicking of a 3mf project then it works. There are other advantages to using saved projects too.

And use your operating systems mechanism to lock down the file, so you don't inadvertently overwrite the stored profiles. Speaking from experience...
