Is there a way to tell what profile is loaded?

Is there a way in the configurator to see what profile is currently loaded? It would be great if there was a way to see what the current profile is. Maybe even in a comment field or something?

There is such a function, everything works. Read paragraph 2.4.8 of the manual.

From what I can tell, you can set the zconfig.ini file to assign numbers that show a profile name, but those are not associated with anything. If I load a profile, I have to change the number of the Profile ID myself, and it has no bearing on what the actual profile is.

Is there a way for when you load a profile for it to detect and correctly assign the profile ID?

The profile ID is stored in the profile, so if you assign the correct profile ID to your profile, it will automatically be named according to the value found in zconfig. Of course you should take care to not have several profiles with the same profile ID to avoid confusion.

I'm clearly doing it wrong, can you give an example of where in the profile you assign the ID, and/or what should be in the zconfig.ini?

So in zconfig.ini I have these lines under [user]:

These are respectively the names for the STECS and MCGU configs I use for Nuclear Option.

If I change the 'Profile ID' field to 60 in VKBDevCfg in the Global > Common page, the text field next to Profile ID as well as the device descriptor in the devices list at the top will read 'NukeOP STECS'. VKBDevCfg simply displays the name associated with the profile ID of the config currently loaded in the program.
If at this point I Set this config to a device or save it to a file, the profile ID will be written in the config, and displayed in VKBDevCfg whenever I Get or Load it.

Note that VKBDevCfg wont display the profile name as soon as the device is connected, you need to click the device in the list so VKBDevCfg fetches the config and the Profile ID with it (assuming you have 'Autoread parameters' which automatically Gets the config).

Example. After selecting the profile number and its appearance in the name line, you need to save these settings by pressing Set and saving the profile to disk.

Thank you! The missing step for me was setting the profile ID and then saving the profile. Much appreciated.
