Describe the bug
Change Folder does not change the folder on the device neither does change profile

To Reproduce
image

Expected behavior
The Device should change into the folder Locker as soon as the variable changes to True

Additional context
I wrote a automatic Locker system that uses TaskScheduler to execute a batch file that writes true or false when someone locks windows -_> WIN+L and then when time updates it read the variable from the file so when I lock my PC Macrodeck will evetually be locked as well, sadly the part that macrodeck should change the folder does not work correctly, it only changes on the server.

Change Profile does not work as well.

Is is not a bug, currently this is more "by design". The "change folder" action changes the folder on the device where the button with this action is pressed. Since there is no device when a action is executed by a automation, this cannot work currently.

An idea for a future improvement would be to let the user select on which device the folder should be changed.

Oh okay I see.
Yeah I'd love to see some sort of this implemented, so I could display a little lock when my Macrodeck instance is locked.
