Description

Hi,
is it possible to have a folder for custom controller profiles, or the possibility to name the profile before saving? Sometimes the controller is detected with an existing profile, but differs a bit. When changing and saving the profile, the existing one gets overwritten, and with the next controller profile update, the custom profile will be overwritten again. The custom profiles should have a higher score, than the upstream ones.
