Describe the bug
When multiple Google Chrome profiles are present on a system, ueli is unable to import bookmarks correctly. It either fails to import any bookmarks or imports from the wrong Chrome profile.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Google Chrome.
  2. Create multiple profiles (e.g., "Default", "Profile 1", "Profile 2").
  3. Add different bookmarks to each profile.
  4. Open ueli and enable the bookmarks plugin (if not already enabled).
  5. Try to use ueli to search for bookmarks.

Expected behavior
Ueli should import bookmarks from the correct or selected Chrome profile. Ideally, the user should be able to select which profile to import bookmarks from.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Version: 9.24.0

Additional context
Chrome stores bookmarks in separate folders for each profile under:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Each profile (e.g. "Default", "Profile 1") has its own Bookmarks file. It seems ueli only looks at the "Default" profile. Support for multi-profile detection or manual profile selection would resolve the issue.
