Window title matching
Smart Profiles only know the process path. Auto Profile Switcher can also match on the window title of the focused app.
Rule priority
Section titled “Rule priority”Detection runs in order:
- Title-specific app-map rules (process + title substring)
- Process-only app-map rules
- Built-in Smart Profile mirror (from
AppIdentifierin profile manifests)
Title rules are more specific, so they always beat generic process rules for the same executable.
Example: Windows Terminal
Section titled “Example: Windows Terminal”| Match | Title contains | Profile |
|---|---|---|
windowsterminal |
PowerShell |
PowerShell |
windowsterminal |
Ubuntu |
WSL |
windowsterminal |
— | Terminal |
Add the specific rules first; use a catch-all process rule last.
- Matching is case-insensitive and uses substring checks (
includes). - Use Test detection to copy exact title text from the target window.
- Click + Add to app list to pre-fill a rule from a detection result.
