Need help setting this up.

5. Right-click the newly made shortcut and select properties
6. Add the /frontier profile-name argument + your other desired arguments to the end of the Target textbox (e.g. C:\path\to\MinEdLauncher.exe /frontier profile-name /autorun /autoquit /edh4)

How do I find my profile-name? Is it the text that the launcher shows, e.g. "Phil Hibbs"? So would that be /frontier Phil Hibbs? or /frontier "Phil Hibbs"? Or is profile-name something that I invent for the min launcher?

Update It's the last - this "profile-name" isn't something that already exists, you choose it.

i dont use this functionality as im an epic user but from the documentation it looks like you make up the profile-name - its used to differentiate different accounts
"If you have multiple frontier accounts, use a different profile name for each of them. After successfully logging in, there will be a .cred file created in either %LOCALAPPDATA%\min-ed-launcher\ or $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/min-ed-launcher/ (depending on OS). This file stores your username, password and machine token."

awesome job on the mini launcher rfvgyhn - it helped me overcome the download speed issues i experienced with the offical launcher and made downloading the game feasible. Without it i would've missed out on the game completely so huge thanks for your time and effort

Oh, another plus of this is you can run two copies of the game at the same time. Want to buy loads of Kamitra Cigars? Park one commander outside the station, and ferry them out ten at a time with the other commander, jetisson them and pick them up with a collector limpet on the first commander.

Unfortunately I can't do this as one of my accounts is in Colonia and the other in the bubble. Need a third account!

What is the reason that the launcher stays running once the game is loaded? I get that if it's in /restart mode then it needs to keep running, but if it isn't then why?

Click to expand...

So that it can cleanly shutdown any processes it started. That only applies to users that have modified their settings to start additional processes though. It could check if there aren't any extra processes it has to take care of, it's just something that hasn't been implemented.

v0.11.2​

New Features​

  • Add ability to keep applications open after launcher exits. Can be useful to review your recent activity in apps like
    EDDiscovery.
    Set the new keepOpen property to true in your settings file.
    Code: 
    "processes": [{
  "fileName": "path\\to\\exe",
  "keepOpen": true 
}]

  • Allow skipping the prompt to install a product when /autorun isn't specified with the new flag /skipInstallPrompt.

Enhancements​

  • Read additional processes' STDOUT/ERR asynchronously. This should allow EDOMH to launch without locking up.
  • Do a better job of scrubbing stored frontier passwords in log file

I'm struggling with this, I've had it working for ages but I can't figure out how to change my credentials. On Windows with Frontier accounts.

I just changed the email and password for one of my accounts. How do I update the .cred file? I've logged in with the Frontier launcher, but I cant figure out how the .cred files get created. I was kind of expecting to find a .cred file somewhere that I could copy to my min-ed-launcher directory, but I can't see one.

Sorted it. I ran the command line with a new profile name and specified the new email and password, now I have a new .cred file.

In other words, you can't update a .cred file, you just create a new one.
