Hello SF com! I have a hopefully simple one. I often will use my laptop with SF when I'm on the run and I'm not in my studio. When I do, I get all kinds of error messages on all my "show device" commands because my laptop isn't plugged into the normal stream decks, iPads, etc. that it usually has at the studio. I have a bunch of different triggers to show different decks when applications activate, so every time I switch applications, an error gets thrown.
This is incredibly annoying and I often have to log out of soundflow if I'm not actively working on a project. I have tried just about every combination in the "Error handling and execution tab" and I'm still getting errors. I believe I used to get some sort of a "stream deck cannot be found" error, but that changed to something like "cannot recognize serial number of stream deck device" after I switched some of the settings in the error handling tab. I'm basically just looking for that macro to run and never throw errors. Is that possible?
Thanks!

This is a scenario where using a separate Profile for you laptop will work well.
Think of Profiles as a unique set of triggers. Every Profile contains the same commands (ie Scripts, Macros, Decks & Surfaces etc) as all the other profiles, but you can assign different triggers to each profile.
You can create a profile by selecting "Profile" => "New Profile..." in the SoundFlow editor.
Let me know if that makes sense.

This is so helpful. I obviously knew of profiles but didn’t realize that was the intended usage. Thanks so much @Kitch ill give that a try!
