Shared profile dir for Windows and Linux Iron?

Post by RobertH »

Hello *,

is it possible to use the same shared Iron profile dir for Windows and Linux in a dual-boot system?
So that i can interrupt my internet session in the one, and continue in the other system?

With Firefox it's no problem. Just link the profile dirs from Windows and Linux to one shared dir.

Or is there another possibility to use the same profiles in both systems?

Thanks
Rob

It is possible with parameter --user-data-dir=

Thanks, i've found this parameter in the chromium command list, too. But unfortunately my first attempts with this were not succesful. Not sure, if i made some failures with the paths/links or anything else.
I'll do some more trials.

Please provice some screenshots for more help:
- Of your start configuration with the parameter (Win+Linux)
- Of the profile folder with dir in Explorer (Win+Linux)
