Adding rules

  1. Open the property inspector for Auto Profile Switcher.
  2. Click Test detection and focus the target app within 3 seconds.
  3. Click + Add this to App List — process name and title are pre-filled.
  4. Choose the target profile from the dropdown.
  5. Save settings.

Each rule has:

Field Meaning
Match Process name substring (e.g. calc, windowsterminal)
Title match Optional window title substring
Profile Stream Deck profile to activate

Leave Title match empty for a process-only rule.

Test detection is the recommended tool. For apps without a visible window:

Terminal window
Get-Process |
Where-Object { $_.MainWindowTitle -ne "" } |
Select-Object Name, MainWindowTitle |
Sort-Object Name

Put title-specific rules above process-only fallbacks in the list. The plugin evaluates title rules first.
