I think it would probably work if one has two preferences files, and renames them dynamically in that startup script.
The better option would probably be to set the environment variable for the INKSCAPE_PROFILE_DIR to a different directory (see man page). I still need to try that out (it's definitely better than using one preferences file for different Inkscape versions) :)

Dear fellow Inkscapists,
thanks to the "Larger" option for icon sizes in the 0.92 version, more of the icons are now usable on my laptop's high-DPI display. Using an external monitor, that makes them too large of course, and changing the setting means starting Inkscape, going into the preferences, and restarting. Since everything else works fine, I didn't want to try compiling with GTK3 enabled since it's marked "experimental".
But can I give these these icon size preferences as an option when starting Inkscape? Then I could just start a different script depending on what monitor I'm using. Of course it would be ideal if that's already an option, since then I could eventually switch to a binary distribution. But I don't mind compiling it myself either, if it's something I can add in myself. Does somebody know how this could work?
Best, Christoph
