Android: option to select which profile to open at start

[andbenn]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I have several profiles I'm syncing to Android (more now thanks to recent Chrome/Chromium bookmark bar changes).

I'd like to change the order of the list, and also choose which profile I'd like the app to start in.

This would be a very nice feature that would reduce some friction. I can live for now and have been. Thank you!

Describe the solution you'd like

• order the profiles on mobile
• choose a profile to open up with on mobile

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Start app
2. select menu |||
3. choose profile
4. find a particular bookmark

vs

1. Start app
2. find a particular bookmark in default profile

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved. Let me give you a short introduction on what to expect from this issue tracker to avoid misunderstandings.
I'm Marcel. I created floccus a few years ago, and have been maintaining it since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient. It helps when you stick around to answer follow up questions I may have,
as very few bugs can be fixed directly from the first bug report, without any interaction. If information is missing in your bug report
and the issue cannot be solved without it, I will have to close the issue after a while.
Note also that GitHub in general is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
If you cannot lend a helping hand, to continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way,
I ask that you donate to the project when opening an issue (or at least once your issue is solved), if you're not a donor already.
You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

Thank you for reading through this primer. I look forward to working with you on this issue!
Cheers 💙

Just came looking for this.

Primary request is to be able to set default profile for when you share a link to Floccus. Currently (I think) floccus selects the top profile based on the sorting in its menu which I assume is dictated by the order you added them to the phone.

I'd even go for alphabetical sort and I'd just number the profile names.

Thanks all!

As I strive to avoid introducing settings, would you be ok with the following change: Floccus would remember which profile you used last?

[andbenn]

@marcelklehr I'd be OK with remembering the last profile used. Maybe a setting to enable/disable the remembering.

That would streamline things, and I think it would add the OP too.

[patienttruth]

@marcelklehr should this be working in v5.7.0?

I tested both by sharing a link to Floccus > saving link in a profile > repeat, as well as opening the app > select a profile> switch apps and swipe app away> reopen app.

In both cases the profile at the top of the list is shown first.

No worries if it's still in queue. Thanks. 🤙🏼

Hey @patienttruth
Yeah, this hasn't been released yet, sorry for the delay. I've been taking a small break :)

[patienttruth]

All good, get that break. Thanks for making it happen. floccus is awesome.
