# The Elgato mark the product is sold under: elgato.com publishes photographs

# of the hardware and the marketplace's own icon, but no square mark for the

# Stream Deck software itself.

icon = "SimpleIcons:elgato"

# The Stream Deck app ships no command-line tool of its own — the @elgato/cli

# used to build plugins is a separate npm package — so `detect` carries the

# bundle identifier. It is the one the Homebrew cask quits and names its

# LaunchAgent after (https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/elgato-stream-deck.json:

# quit "com.elgato.StreamDeck", ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.elgato.StreamDeck.plist).

detect = ["com.elgato.StreamDeck"]

platforms = ["macos", "windows"]

# The description is trimmed from Elgato's own product page.

# Elgato's SDK names the data directory on both platforms. In the official CLI,

# elgatosf/streamdeck packages/cli/src/stream-deck.ts:

# if (os.platform() === "darwin") {

# return join(os.homedir(), "Library/Application Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/Plugins");

# }

# const appData = process.env.APPDATA ?? join(os.homedir(), "AppData/Roaming");

# return resolve(join(appData, "Elgato/StreamDeck/Plugins"));

# and elgatosf/streamdeck-cpu Sources/StreamDeckSDK.cmake sets the same macOS

# path, "$ENV{HOME}/Library/Application Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/Plugins".

# The parent of that Plugins folder is the app's data directory, which is where

# the user's profiles and key assignments are kept.

# The two locations are genuinely different places rather than one place under

# two names — macOS uses the bundle identifier as the folder name while Windows

# uses "Elgato\StreamDeck" — so each is spelled out and a consumer skips the

# one that is absent. A named base directory would have claimed

# %APPDATA%\com.elgato.StreamDeck, which does not exist.

paths = [

"~/Library/Application Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/",

"%APPDATA%/Elgato/StreamDeck/",

]

# Plugins/ is where the SDK installs .sdPlugin bundles — downloaded software,

# re-installable from the Marketplace, and the largest thing in the directory.

# Both spellings, or the carve-out only applies on one platform.

exclude = [

"~/Library/Application Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/Plugins/",

"%APPDATA%/Elgato/StreamDeck/Plugins/",

]

# No whole-file credential named above. A plugin that signs into a service of

# its own keeps that inside its own .sdPlugin folder, which is excluded.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: the profiles, key assignments and icons are the whole

# reason to carry this directory.
