How to add parameters to a command for a desktop shortcut properties: more explanation: I created a Thunderbird shortcut command on my desktop, when I try to run it, it starts the ProfileManager and ask me to create a profile; the profile was previouly created and exist.

Under shell command, if I try to add the parameter profile name to the command (thunderbirt -P Profname), the program starts normaly, so I wanted to add this same parameter to my shortcut command properties but do not work.

Any idea to solve my problem ?

Thank you very much.

edit the icon properties using icontool
or manually in ~/.xtdesktop (text edit the .lnk)

Here is the content of my lnk properties:

table Icon
Type: Program
Caption: Email
Command: /opt/thunderbird-1.5/thunderbird -P Claude
Icon: /opt/thunderbird-1.5/icons/mozicon50.xpm
X: 8
Y: 232
Status: anchor
end

If I click on the shortcut, ProfileManager is starting and ask me to create a new profile: the profile name Claude is already created

If I execute the same command from the shell prompt, Thunderbird starts normally......

hm, it always seems to automatically log into my default account regardless with or without -P.  Maybe you edited your ~/.thunderbird/profiles.ini (or maybe you can edit that to your liking)?
