Description

It would be nice if there was a way to start satisfactory right avay, preset with some profile.
Lets say we have Profiles:
No-Mods
QOL-mods
Cool-mods

And we like to start the sf mod manager with the qol (quality of life) mods.
So i propose a cli argument like:

./SatisfactoryModManager_linux_amd64 --start "QOL-mods"

This would start satisfactory with the mod profile "QOL-mods".

As alternative a setting to autostart after 10 seconds of inactivity would also be possible.

Or a enviroment varrible that starts a mod profile.
Also possible.

If added a right click on the profile (or a button next to the profile settings), could then say: "make shortcut to auto start with this profile".

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how profiles are stored and how the application currently starts, then compare the proposed CLI argument, environment variable, inactivity timer, and profile shortcut approaches. Done should mean one clearly chosen mechanism starts the selected profile reliably.
