This would be nice for Mac users as they cannot create shortcuts with
command line options, unlike in Windows. Instead, they have to be passed to
the application every time, which means always opening Chromium through
Terminal. If this is implemented, though, should we not persist some flags
(like --single-process and --disable-sandbox)? There was a recent discussion
on chromium-dev about putting up an infobar for some of these options.
That said, I'm not sure persisting command line flags automatically is a
good idea. For example, if I wanted to run with --log-level 0 one time, I
wouldn't want that enabled every future time I run Chromium. To disable a
flag, the user would need to know the default value, which she may not know.

We have many command line switches in Chromium that many users would like
to have switched on every time. And managing them using registry or even
modifying the shortcut directly doesn't always work (Windows7) and its very
tedious. Is their any argument not allowing command line options to be
persisted in the Preferences file? There is even a limit on how many
arguments you can put that small Shortcut Properties dialog which makes it
even more unusable.
Many users on the forums, would always like to run specific command line
switches, many of them run more than 1, some of them turn on ~5. Can't we
just include another pref name that we name switches that users can put
whatever they want inside that?
That will make many people happy. Since the UI team doesn't like to add
more customizable preferences in the UI, this would be the next simplest
place to tell users to customize a couple of stuff without affecting the UI
at all.
