Why Profiles Are Better Than Folders For Stream Deck Screen Management.

Since I bought my Stream Deck XL a few months ago, I have been tweaking to get it setup just the way I want it, and to me, that was by using Stream Deck Nested Folders.   

However, I now realise that this is not the most efficient way to use stream deck.   Far better to Use the Stream Deck Profiles, albeit I am using them just like folders!    This way you get all of the benefits of folders, except you can also call up a profile from within any other profile, using the 'Switch Profile" action.

This way, I have avoided having duplicate folders of the same actions.
I hope this has now answered the Stream Deck Folders vs Profiles question, as it has for me!

In this video I mentioned my Stream Deck Calculator - You can find a video all about that here:
