Profiler

Profiler allows you to create multiple addon profiles for ease of use botting.
Ever noticed that with certain botting addons like the ones used for dungeons or gathering, you lose a ton of FPS?
This could easily become an issue if you just want to do something like raids but you're sitting at twenty frames per second…
With Profiler, you can easily create a new profile that only contains your raiding addons and swap to it whenever you please. When you're done, all you have to do is swap back.
After swapping to a new profile, you can go through and uninstall any addons you don't want on that profile through the minion store. All of these changes will stay locally to that profile, so when you want to use an addon you uninstalled again, just swap back to the default profile and it'll still be there.

Instructions

Upon first load with Profiler, the LuaMods folder you're currently using will be designated as the default profile.
Creating another profile is as simple as switching the dropdown to another option like 'Raiding' and then pressing 'Create Profile'
Afterwards, all you have to do is click the 'Swap To Profile' button, and Profiler will do it's thing, and then reload LUA on the bot so the changes take effect.
Finally, just uninstall any addons you don't want on that profile.

If you've previously created alternative LuaMods folders, while on your default profile, just rename the folder to whatever profile you want it to be designated as, copy *only* the addon's .paf file to a “Profiler” folder in the alternative LuaMods directory, and then click “Swap To Profile” in the addon's GUI.
Afterwards, a new profile.txt file will be created automatically and the directory designated as the profile you set.

Warnings

In order to avoid permission issues, when swapping profiles, the addon will force restart explorer.exe. This will close any open folders you have, so just be aware of that. It won't cause any issues beyond that.
Profiler uses Powershell to perform it's functions so if you've disabled Powershell for whatever reason, Profiler will not work.
Addons will have to be updated on every profile, every time. This includes Profiler itself, if there are any updates.
If you're having trouble switching from one profile to the other, it's likely a permissions issue. Check for any rogue open programs that might be interacting with the LuaMods folder. You can open resmon.exe (resource monitor, built into windows), go to the CPU tab, search “LuaMods” under Associated Handles, and find any programs that might be currently interacting with the LuaMods folder. If the issue is another addon, then please PM me using the contact info below.
