Reset Loupedeck Original back to factory mapping

How to reset the devices to their factory mapping

Resetting Loupedeck Original so, that you will have the factory default mapping, is done by deleting existing layout-files.

Deleting layouts will delete all individual mapping for the supported software.

As backup/restore does not help in this case (it would restore the corrupted layout), all individual mappings should be written down before resetting, so that they can be remapped manually.

Windows:

Open any folder
Copy and paste following to the folder address bar, and press enter to open correct location:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Loupedeck
Open Layouts folder
Delete a) target-application related files (e.g. deleting layout files that state "Lightroom" will reset lightroom layouts), or b) all layouts, to reset everything.
After deleting required layout files: Right click Loupedeck icon on the taskbar and select "Restart Loupedeck"

Note: When Loupedeck service restarts, it will recreate missing layout files as the default ones provided with the software.

If you need to reset layout files often, consider creating a .BAT file to your computer desktop to run following:

cd %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Loupedeck
rd /s/q Layouts
rm layouts

macOS:

Open Finder and press: Shift+Cmd+period (.)
to be able to see hidden folders and files
Open folders: .local -> share -> Loupedeck
Open Layouts folder
Delete a) target-application related files (e.g. deleting layout files that state "Lightroom" will reset lightroom layouts), or b) all layouts, to reset everything.
After deleting required layout files: Right click Loupedeck icon on system bar and select "Stop Loupedeck"
Open Launchpad and click on Loupedeck icon to restart Loupedeck service/software
