Multiple isolated settings and presets?

Is there a way to make Shutter run with a specific, isolated presets directory and Settings.ini file?

I would like to run one instance of Shutter and have it always use one preset and its own settings, for example having it always start minimized so I never even see it--but I also want to be able to use another instance of Shutter with a separate set of settings, without interfering with the other one.

Is this possible? I've tried messing with "start in" directories, but it hasn't worked.

You can use the portable version of Shutter for this.

Portable version stores all of its settings and presets in the same directory as the executable file. Simply download and unpack it to any desired location. You can have any number of portable copies of Shutter, as long as they sit in different directories.
