I've read that 3x, front-to-back.
Every bloody page. AND watched every available video, too. C'mon, Dennis, you
know me. What I meant was, about this one particular function, that I need, there are two lines of text, saying "yes this exists." That's about it, I kid thee not.

A quick scan makes this look like a corporate product that will be programmed by IT support staffers and rolled out to users who need the functionality. It does not look like the sort of thing most end users will want to wrestle with.

See? I absolutely don't get that from their website, at all. And no, I didn't read ALL their Help/FAQ documentation, before I bought, but I did read about half of the DOCS pages to which you linked. I just...it seemed pretty simple, if you're left-brained and have a background in DBMS or the usual. It never occurred to me that I needed actual
PROGRAMMING. I mean, the fundamentals are pretty "click this, insert that."

And on a different line, I noted BetterRed talking about different profiles. I've been doing that for ages in Firefox, which makes it easy. Want to generate a new profile? Run Firefox in Profile Manager mode, with firefox -p. Profile Manager will let you create a new profile, give it a name, and specify where it is kept.
I have a top level C:\Mozilla directory. Profiles live in C:\Mozilla]\Firefox\Profiles, with sub-directories with the name I gave the profile when I created it. I can run Firefox using a specified profile with firefox -p <profile name> For that matter, I can have more than one FF instance active at once, as long as each uses a different profile. firefox -no-remote -p <profile name> does it.
I want the same bookmarks and history available in all created profiles, which is easy enough but requires hacking done at the OS level, outside of FF. (Technically, I have a master copy, and I symlink that into the profile directories I create, replacing the default places.sqlite file that Firefox uses to hold bookmarks/history. All FF profiles are using th4e same FF bookmarks/history file. But SQLite does atomic commits, so stepping on each other's toes is unlikely even with more than one profile active. Only one will actually be updating the file at any time.)
The main differences between profiles are precisely what extensions are installed.
I haven't played with doing that in Chrome, but it sounds like a profile specifically for browsing and another for eBook creation activities might be a good idea.

I have not, previously, set up profiles in Chrome. I admit it, I just..I get burned out managing all my entities/avatars,etc. For logins and all that; sadly, because I'm pathetic, I don't really have any 'secret identities' on the Net. I find that posting under your own name--or close enough so that your real identify isn't hidden--helps keep me honest and from descending into that cavalier and easy cruelty that pervades online living.
So, yes, I digress some more. I will set up some Chrome profiles and do some testing.For the nonce, I'm using Chromium Edge; some of the extensions do work so that's helpful.
Thanks, guys.
