BitPim support for multiple data dir

I'm looking into adding support for multiple data dir to BitPim.  The idea is that a user should be able to select a specific data dir to use with BitPim.  This allows data isolation between phones should users need to.  My first implementation choice is a simple command line option:

bp.py -d <Data Path>

which would kick-off BitPim using the '<Data Path>' dir for data, and that works well enough for me.  However, at this point, I'm asking for any other ideas or suggestions of ways for users to select specific data dir prior to or as part of starting up BitPim.  One approach that Roger had previously suggested is to specify the data dir in a text file with a '.bitpim' extension, which type is associated with the BitPim exe.  Users would then create these .bitpim files, and double-click on them to launch BitPim.  Another approach is to display a dir selection dialog to users prior starting BitPim.

I still like the command line option! :-)
