Expected Behavior

I use 3 profiles in OBS 27 & 28, each one have a different Decklink Output. This is not saved in the profile.
OBS is used in portable and multi mode. Using the windows link with --portable --multi --profile "profileX" --collection "collectionX"

Current Behavior

The Decklink Output stays on the last closed OBS definition.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open 2 instances of OBS with different profiles
  2. Change Decklink Ouptut in each instance to a different output.
  3. Close all OBS
  4. When you open the 2 instances the Decklink Ouptut is on the definition of the last OBS you closed.
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with two OBS instances using different profiles and Decklink outputs, as described in the reproduction steps. Trace where the Decklink Output setting is persisted and loaded for each profile; done means reopening both instances restores each profile's own output instead of the last closed definition.
