Hi! I’ve been using CloudMonkey with multiple profiles and noticed a usability issue with the current set profile command. Right now, set profile <name> serves both to create a new profile and to switch to an existing profile: * When creating a profile, you run: set profile <new_profile_name> set url <api_url> set apikey <api_key> set secretkey <secret_key> [optional: set username / set domain] * When switching between profiles, you also run: set profile <existing_profile_name> The problem is that if you mistype the profile name when trying to switch, CloudMonkey silently creates a new empty profile instead of switching, which can be confusing and lead to misconfiguration. Proposal: Add a dedicated command for switching between existing profiles — one that does not create new profiles if the name doesn’t match. For example: switch profile <profile_name> or use profile <profile_name> This would: * Prevent accidental creation of unwanted profiles. * Make the intent clearer by separating profile creation from profile switching. * Improve usability when working with multiple CloudStack connections. The current set profile could remain for profile creation/configuration to preserve backward compatibility. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
