Hybrid Smart Profiles
Auto Profile Switcher is designed to extend Smart Profiles, not replace them.
Division of labour
Section titled “Division of labour”| Layer | Handles |
|---|---|
| This plugin | MSIX apps, title rules, profiles you explicitly configure |
| Stream Deck built-in | Standard executables with AppIdentifier in profile manifests |
Releasing control
Section titled “Releasing control”When the foreground app does not match any plugin rule, the plugin calls switchToProfile(""). That pops the plugin override stack and lets the built-in Smart Profile logic run on the next focus change.
Profile ownership
Section titled “Profile ownership”Stream Deck only honours switchToProfile for profiles tagged with this plugin’s UUID (InstalledByPluginUUID). The plugin migrates AppIdentifier → PluginSavedAppIdentifier so Smart Profile and plugin ownership do not conflict.
The Default Profile (AppIdentifier = "*") is intentionally left unowned — switchToProfile("") reverts to whatever was active before the plugin took over.
