Human Readable Profile Files

Observed Effects

The following describes the procedure on how to convert a GUID file name to something that is human readable, which aides in configuring the correct file.

• Click Start, Run (Or press WIN+R), and enter [ %LocalAppData%\Logitech\Logitech Gaming Software\profiles ] (Without brackets) and then hit ENTER. Change the view to Detailed view, then order by date modified.
• Shut down LGS. Check Task Manager to make sure its down. (Look for LCore.exe in the Processes tab)
• Open up one of the XML files, as instructed above
• Immediately "Save As" the file to what this profile should be (See <profile name="...">). The filename is your reference, and contain valid filename characters. For example, save the file as "Albion Prelude.xml". [MSDN-Naming Conventions]
• Look for <profile ... guid="{....}">
• Change the {....} to what you saved the file as. For example, guid="{....}" becomes guid="Albion Prelude" not guid="Albion Prelude.xml". (As mentioned in Observed Effects be aware that when you change the GUID, when LGS launches, it will create the XML file with the filename of what you've set the GUID to. So it is important to match this value to what you've saved the file as. Case isn't important, spaces are valid, but actual spacing and characters are important.)
• Resave the file.
• In your explorer window, the original XML file should be still selected. Move this to somewhere else (Right-Click the file, Send To> C: ), send it to recycling, or completely delete it if you're brave enough.
• Relaunch LGS
• The profile you just edited should still be present.
