Once I receive a reply to my previous question (hiding hard-coded subtitles), it would be very useful to be able to save several versions of my preferences. So, for example, I could have one preference file for films with hard-coded subtitles and another one for "normal" films. Other people would, of course, have other sets of preferences they'd like to save. Thanks.

I think you can already do that. Just start VLC on the command line, and give the path to the config file you want to load (--config option).
