SD Profile Manager (Windows)

Windows-native Stream Deck profile editor for moving actions between profiles, pages, and folders.

This is the Windows companion repo to:

• macOS/original: https://github.com/SirCrest/SDProfileManager-macOS

What It Does

• Open two .streamDeckProfile files side-by-side.
• Drag/drop actions between source and target panes.
• Create a new empty target profile from preset templates.
• Save as a standard .streamDeckProfile archive.
• Open the target profile directly in the Stream Deck app.

Current Feature Set

• Dual-profile workflow:

• Left pane (Source) and right pane (Target) with independent page selection.

• Copy or move semantics via Source Lock for cross-profile drags.

• Single Profile Mode:

• Split one loaded profile across both panes.

• Each pane can show a different page from the same profile.

• Cross-pane drags in this mode are always move operations.

• Page management:

• Add pages (up to official limit of 10).

• Right-click page buttons to delete pages (cannot delete last remaining visible page).

• Independent page selection per pane.

• Folder navigation:

• Double-click folder actions to open folder pages.

• Folder back history per pane.

• Reserved back behavior on top-left key (0,0) while inside folder navigation.

• Dedicated folder-back button in page strip.

• Key / dial / touch strip editing:

• Key-to-key drag/drop.

• Dial/encoder-to-strip and strip-to-strip drag/drop.

• Delete selected key/dial/strip action with Delete or Backspace.

• Visual selection highlight for selected slots.

• Touch strip rendering:

• Hybrid static renderer:

• Uses profile-embedded visuals first.

• Optionally reads installed plugin layouts/assets from %APPDATA%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins.

• Falls back gracefully with labels/badges/tooltips when layout/assets are unavailable or encrypted.

• Word-wrap + auto font scaling in strip cells to reduce truncation.

• Empty dial/strip slots render empty.

• Device behavior:

• Stream Deck Mini

• Stream Deck Neo

• Stream Deck

• Stream Deck XL

• Stream Deck +

• Stream Deck + XL

• Stream Deck Studio (dials only, no strip)

• Galleon 100 SD (2x2 strip segments mapped to encoder coordinates)

• Import preflight:

• Structural validation with Error, Warning, and Info.

• Foldout list of top issues.

• UX and shell integration:

• Drag .streamDeckProfile files onto either pane to load.

• Undo/redo history.

• Utilities menu: open logs, diagnostics dump, check updates.

• Keyboard shortcuts:

• Ctrl+Z undo

• Ctrl+Y / Ctrl+Shift+Z redo

• Ctrl+O open source

• Ctrl+S save target

Build and Run

Quick build (recommended)

From repo root:

build.bat

Output:

• Root EXE: SDProfileManager.exe

Publish mode is:

• single-file
• self-contained
• compressed single-file payload enabled

So the app runs as a standalone EXE without requiring a separate .NET runtime install.

Notes on toolchain

• Project targets WinUI 3 + Windows App SDK.
• build.bat uses Visual Studio MSBuild path for reliable publish output in this repo.

Tests

Test project:

• SDProfileManager.Tests

Coverage currently includes:

• template/layout mapping logic
• profile archive page/action behaviors
• workspace drag/drop semantics
• folder navigation behavior

Typical local flow:

# Build app + tests first (Release/x64)
& "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" SDProfileManager\SDProfileManager.csproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64 /t:Restore,Build
& "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" SDProfileManager.Tests\SDProfileManager.Tests.csproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64 /t:Build

# Run tests without rebuilding
dotnet test SDProfileManager.Tests\SDProfileManager.Tests.csproj --no-build

Profile Compatibility Notes

• .streamDeckProfile is handled as a standard ZIP archive.
• The app preserves native profile structures and does not add sidecar metadata.
• Page export is constrained to Stream Deck's practical top-level page model while still preserving folder targets referenced by actions.
• Unknown device model fallback is conservative (Stream Deck XL) to avoid accidental dial-enabled misclassification.

Known Limits

• Runtime plugin feedback graphics (live meter/animated feedback from running plugin processes) are out of scope.
• Touch strip visuals are static approximations from profile/plugin layout data when available.
• SmartScreen/Defender reputation prompts can appear for unsigned/newly signed binaries.
