GameTouchController .profile file parser for editing looong macros

readme.md

• Setup your things with something recognizeable for where you want to do/edit long macros.
• Sync profiles
• Export the profile zip
• Unzip it
• under the "Custom_Profiles" directory find yourprofile.profile and copy it elsewhere, you might want to rename it to yourprofile_orig.profile
• Copy the python script above to same location
• Run it and give it the profile file name
• Go editing the code, the macros themselves are also string encoded so be careful when editing them
• This is basic Python stuff, Just Google for some tutorials I'm not going to teach you programming
  • If you already know how to program in Python and have questions about Deep Magic, I can be persuaded to discuss.
    • Nonetheless it's Wormi who knows the internals of GTC itself, not me.
• Copy the output .profile file back to where you unzipped the profile
• Re-zip (take note not to add the extra directory you probably created when unzipping)
• Import
• Delete the profile from clients
• Sync clients

You might need to sync first with the Windows client before things work with the Android one, IDK why that would make a difference but it's easier to do a smoke-test in the windows client anyway.
