The "Save And Copy Profile To All Stack Exchange Accounts" button is quite useful for users with many accounts across the Stack Exchange network. However, many users have profiles on certain sites that intentionally differ from the rest of the network, such as their username on Meta Stack Overflow. Can someone add an option to allow copying the profile to all Stack Exchange accounts except for selected sites?
Personally, I think this is a great idea. I'd like to expand on my comment above. I would want to see this feature do one (or preferably both) of two things:
- Allow me to exclude certain sites from "Save and Copy to All", so that the profiles I choose will remain untouched until I edit them manually;
- Allow me to exclude certain profile fields from "Save and Copy to All", so that I can change, for example, just my display name and contact email across all sites but leave my About Me box (where most of the things I have customized for individual sites live) untouched.
This would eliminate a lot of the pain points that arise when copying profiles, I believe.

2So how about convincing your colleagues to do this? The first one is what I really want as a first step: copy my profile to all >100 sites except to French Language where I don't want to overwrite the French About Me box. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jun 15 '14 at 10:41
