custom application layout is lost after switching profiles and switching profile back
Environment
Joplin version: 2.8.8 (prod,darwin) Platform: macOS OS specifics: 12.5.1
Steps to reproduce
- have customized profile layout similar to screenshot 1 (note, I have Favorites v1.3.0 plugin as part of my custom layout)
- create a new profile
- switch profile to new profile (no need to customize Layout for new profile)
- switch profile back to Default profile (original)
- custom application Layout for Default has been reset, one has to customize again
- each time I switch profiles, custom layout of my primary / Default resets
Describe what you expected to happen
Custom application layouts will be remembered / linked to each profile, so automatically restored upon switching profiles, especially for my primary (Default) profile.
Logfile very long incl hash/crypto info for Joplin cloud maybe - is there a way to export shorter / non-private log if you need?
kindly see screenshots this should make bug / unexpected behavior clear:

![3 layout of original profile after switching back - customization lost](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2606359/189550387-56e17668-9912-4092-b5e8-77a2a0505a65.png)
In order to get support / feedback for any workaround - should I duplicate this post over in a different forum? Or add a different label?
added comment to keep from getting closed and cross-posted to Joplin forums Support - hoping someone can help!
The layout is shared between profiles, so maybe that's your issue?

Ahh. That explains it. I had assumed profiles had independent layouts, much as Firefox and Chrome user profiles customize the interface. Please consider this a feature request.
In the meantime, as a workaround, is there a command or plugin to manually save and restore a layout? My plug-ins in my default profile, include Favorites, which adds a panel.
