Is there a way to quickly switch between Zotero 5 profile folders?
I would like to split the library in multiple profile folders so that the PDF storage, SQLite database and the translators are completely independent. For simplicity, assume I do some freelancing and I'd like to keep each project as a separate Zotero library.
There is a single instance of Zotero 5 standalone on a Windows 10 machine. Is there a way to quickly switch between profiles, or work with more that 1 profile at a time without digging up the folder location in the preferences and restart the program?
The only solution I can think of so far is to keep several portable Zotero 5 program folders (https://github.com/pedrom34/ZoteroPortable/) and call each executable to access library X. Is there a better way of handling this?

This is the same as the Firefox profile instructions, but to actually run multiple instances at once on Windows it's possible you need to pass -no-remote as well.
Thanks a lot, `zotero -P -no-remote` did it. Now I feel stupid:)
