Thanks again. Oh, and you might want to update the post mentioning that with 1.0.3 the editing of the profile is no longer necessary? Well, first, confirm that that’s true :)

Continue to let me know if you find any problems.

Nice write up! I’ll look into the remove bug.

To make it so that you don’t have to edit each new profile you can create a ~/Library/Application Support/rooSwitch/CustomAppMappings.xml file with the following contents: 

<ApplicationMappings>
<application>
<name>Opera</name>
<path>~/Library/Application Support/Opera</path>
<path>~/Library/Caches/Opera</path>
<path>~/Library/Preferences/com.operasoftware.Opera.plist</path>
<path>~/Library/Preferences/Opera Preferences</path>
</application>
</ApplicationMappings>

After creating this file create a new rooSwitch document by dropping Opera onto rooSwitch again. Now edit the profile and you should see it has the full list of what you want. This custom mappings file is not yet a documented feature, but will be soon.

I’ll include this custom mapping in the next version of rooSwitch, 1.0.3, which will be out soon (tonight/tomorrow?). The remove not working is a regression I wasn’t aware of until now.

If you have any problems please let me know (feedback@roobasoft.com). I’ll also post an update here (so long as that’s OK) when 1.0.3 is out and has better support for Opera out of the “box” and the remove bug fixed.
