DMS Profiler

Linux Chrome Profile: when set as the default browser, it opens Google Chrome Stable URLs in the right profile using --profile-directory, driven by a TOML config.

Install

make install

This single command builds the binary, installs it to /usr/local/bin/ (requires sudo), copies the desktop entry to ~/.local/share/applications/, creates ~/.config/dms-profiler/config.toml from the example on first install (never overwrites an existing config), and registers dms-profiler as the default handler for http:// and https://. Existing desktop entry files are backed up as .bak before being replaced.

To install to a different path:

make install INSTALL_BIN=~/.local/bin/dms-profiler

Configure

Edit ~/.config/dms-profiler/config.toml after the first install. Profile names must match what Chrome shows. To list your profiles:

python3 -c "
import json, os
with open(os.path.expanduser('~/.config/google-chrome/Local State')) as f:
    data = json.load(f)
for folder, info in sorted(data['profile']['info_cache'].items()):
    print(f'{folder:20} -> {info[\"name\"]}')
"

Each [[rules]] entry uses either:

• match — one URL prefix string, or
• matches — an array of prefixes for the same profile (less repetition).

Rules are evaluated top to bottom; the first prefix that matches the URL wins. See config.example.toml.

Profile values:

• Folder names (Default, Profile 1, …) are used as-is.
• Names shown in Chrome (Work, Personal, …) are resolved from Local State under user_data_dir.

Re-registering the handler

Fedora/GNOME updates or Chrome's "set as default browser" prompt can reset the MIME handler. Fix it with:

make register-handler

Uninstall

make uninstall

Removes the binary and desktop entry and clears the MIME associations. Your config at ~/.config/dms-profiler/ is not removed.

CLI

dms-profiler [flags] <url>

  -config string
        path to config.toml (default ~/.config/dms-profiler/config.toml)
  -dry-run
        print the command line and exit (does not launch Chrome)
  -print-cmd
        same as -dry-run

Example:

dms-profiler -dry-run 'https://example.com/'

Scope

Chrome Stable, single global user_data_dir, prefix URL matching (no mid-URL wildcards).
