Hey, my minecraft manager is done!

Jetset Minecraft Manager is an unofficial sequel to Minecraft Profile Manager, designed to make it more user friendly, with more features and less restrictions. JSMM works by faking the location of your Appdata folder, making Minecraft's launcher think that it's somewhere custom- this is how the utility points Minecraft at your chosen custom profile. This allows you to have multiple separate installations of Minecraft, for the sake of mods, backups, and different update versions, without hassle. There's no restrictions on filename, or folder location- JSMM is completely portable. Just place it somewhere on your computer or a flash drive, put a copy of Minecraft.exe in the same folder, and run it. On first launch, if you haven't manually imported any copies of Minecraft, it will do this for you. No fuss at all. If you want to create a new vanilla copy of Minecraft, it will automatically copy the login info from another profile (if one exists), so you just have to launch the profile, click "Login", and the game will install and be ready to go without effort.
If you want to manually make a profile, make a new folder in "profiles", called whatever you want, and inside that paste your ".minecraft" folder, and create a new text document called "profileinfo.txt". Inside "profileinfo.txt", enter the name you want your profile to be visible as in JSMM (if you skip this step the profile will appear as an empty slot in the dropdown box).
Requirements: Minecraft and anything it requires (such as Java), Windows (only tested in Win7 so far, which is partly why I'm only posting this on a small scale, here on SA), and an up to date install of
.NET.
Future features:
1) The dropdown box will be replaced with a list with scroll wheel.
2) Another button on the main window, that opens the folder of the currently selected profile, so you can easily modify it or copy around worlds and such (I may make importing worlds between profiles a thing later on)
3) Support for launching other Minecraft utilities such as Cartograph or MCEdit pointed at your selected profile, for utilities that are designed to assume Minecraft is still installed to AppData.

Contact info's in the readme. I'll be making the source code public after JSMM is out of beta.
