Hi, I setup two camera profiles under Custom Camera profile.  The case and spelling is exactly as I see them in lightroom.  Next, I setup two separate buttons in the program to activate these profiles.  But each time, I get a message box that say, profile missing.

Please post your configuration. Under Lightroom's File->Plugin Extras menu, select MIDI2LR -> Export configuration to obtain the file.

OK, I've dug into this. The problem is that Adobe has changed the way they store camera calibration in the photo metadata, and I'm not sure how to fix this. Temporarily, I'm going to have to disable custom camera profiles. A pity, since they used to work. As with many things MIDI2LR attempts to control, Adobe failed to document how to do this, so they were free to change it at any time, and my support of the feature depends upon me reverse-engineering the settings. With this one, I don't know.... Below is some of the data that's used for camera profile in LR 10.

I know I'm veeeerrrry late to the party, but just started playing with this very useful app today. I too was wondering how to select various Fuji camera profiles with single click on my Akai LPD8. Here's what I did:

You will need to do this for EACH camera profile (a bit tedious, but it works well):
1. In Develop pane, edit photo to apply your desired camera profile.
2. In Presets panel (left column), Create Preset...select ONLY the "Treatment & Profile"
3. In MIDI2LR Develop Preset menu, select your newly created presets, one for each placeholder
4. In MIDI2LR app, assign/map desired button(s) to the preset(s) assigned in step 3 above.

Voila, now you can assign a different camera profile with each button press. I know it's a long time after-the-fact for your question, but hopefully this helps someone else...
