Hi Steve, 1.thanks for the proposal. I guess it is too difficult for me at the moment to deal with your proposal.
2. Until now I didn´t have any problems with different profiles. I created profiles through the help of Gary.He advised me to do that, so that I haven´t too many packages in my default profile.
3.So when starting my laptop I open several packages, which are in different created profiles and everything is working well.
4.I realised now, that, when opening Dolphin (KDE) and want to open a file, right click (mouse) it ask me: "open with" , arrow down (right side) it doesn´t show up that package with which I want to open this file. But when writing e.g. libreoffice it opens the file with libreoffice. After doing it once, libreoffice is mentioned in future in this list. Interestingly it opens also with a package, which is located in an other profile and I haven´t open this profile beforehand.
How that works, I don´t know. 5.One question remains for me, if I update only one profile and it downloads all the necessary dependences, how that works for the other profiles which I didn´t update, also for the default profile, if I can call it this way.
6.I can update all the created profiles at once, but very often I update only this profile, which has got a new version of one package.
e.g. one profile in which I have: icecat, ungoogled-chromium and torbrowser.Nevertheless I didn´t have any trouble until now, no conflict between my "default" profile and the other, about 15 created profiles.

Hi Gfp, I would suggest that you do not run multiple profiles simultaneously. You will probably run into problems, since if a library requires an interpreter and it's not in the profile it won't work, and one library will not know about another unless they are in the same profile. If you like to keep 'sets' of packages separated using manifests then one thing you could do is to create a single 'layered manifest' (super manifest?) by stitching them all together. I wrote a post about it: https://www.futurile.net/2022/12/23/guix-profiles-layering-at-login/ The 'user defined command' that Dolphin will be what you set for that particular MIME type. If you do a Google search for that, there's quite a few results, such as: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293509 Hope that helps a bit Steve / Futurile On 15 Nov, gfp wrote:Hi Guix, Simple questions 1. when I want to open a file in KDE Desktop through Dolphin directly, I will be asked through which programme/package. I have many packages installed in different profiles, so the package is not mentioned in the possible packages to open this file. The only way to open a file is, to open the package from the profile beforehand, and after that to open a file in pointing to this package. This is a disadvantage to have packages installed in different profiles. How can I bridge/bypass this? 2. In MATE desktop in Caja and in KDE Dolphin it asks for the "user-defined command" What is the command? How can I find this package stored in the store, so that I can point to it in Dolphin, in the case I haven't opended the package from the profile beforehand? (I don't know if that will help to open a file, if I haven't earlier opened this package from a profile) thanks for help Gottfried
