So this seems to work just fine, but is there a way to filter out the full path and file extension of it? I guess I can crop the window to hide the file path but it will still say .jpeg or .png in the captions

Yes that is possible.
For example, you can adjust the variable value like this:
You will of course have to adjust the file extension(s) and path prefix to your setup.
Here is the example macro from the screenshot in case you want to import it:
Code:
{"macros":[{"name":"Get current slide name","pause":false,"parallel":false,"onChange":true,"skipExecOnStart":false,"group":false,"dockSettings":{"register":false,"hasRunButton":true,"hasPauseButton":true,"hasStatusLabel":false,"highlightIfConditionsTrue":false,"runButtonText":"Run","pauseButtonText":"Pause","unpauseButtonText":"Unpause","conditionsTrueStatusText":"Conditions are true.","conditionsFalseStatusText":"Conditions are false."},"registerHotkeys":false,"pauseHotkey":[],"unpauseHotkey":[],"togglePauseHotkey":[],"conditions":[{"collapsed":false,"id":"slideshow","logic":0,"durationModifier":{"time_constraint":0,"seconds":{"value":{"value":0.0,"type":0},"unit":0,"version":1}},"condition":0,"source":{"type":0,"name":"Image Slide Show"},"index":{"value":0,"type":0},"path":""},{"collapsed":false,"id":"slideshow","logic":102,"durationModifier":{"time_constraint":0,"seconds":{"value":{"value":0.0,"type":0},"unit":0,"version":1}},"condition":2,"source":{"type":0,"name":"Image Slide Show"},"index":{"value":0,"type":0},"path":""}],"actions":[{"collapsed":false,"id":"variable","enabled":true,"variableName":"Image Path","variable2Name":"invalid variable selection","strValue":"","numValue":0.0,"condition":5,"segmentIdx":1,"subStringStart":0,"subStringSize":0,"regexPattern":".*","regexMatchIdx":0,"findStr":"Text to find","replaceStr":"Text to replace with","regexConfig":{"enable":false,"partial":true,"options":0},"mathExpression":"( 1 + 2 * 3 ) / 4","useCustomPrompt":false,"inputPrompt":"Assign value to variable:"},{"collapsed":false,"id":"variable","enabled":true,"variableName":"Image Path","variable2Name":"invalid variable selection","strValue":"","numValue":0.0,"condition":9,"segmentIdx":-1,"subStringStart":0,"subStringSize":0,"regexPattern":".*","regexMatchIdx":0,"findStr":".PNG","replaceStr":"","regexConfig":{"enable":false,"partial":true,"options":0},"mathExpression":"( 1 + 2 * 3 ) / 4","useCustomPrompt":false,"inputPrompt":"Assign value to variable:"},{"collapsed":false,"id":"variable","enabled":true,"variableName":"Image Path","variable2Name":"invalid variable selection","strValue":"","numValue":0.0,"condition":9,"segmentIdx":-1,"subStringStart":0,"subStringSize":0,"regexPattern":".*","regexMatchIdx":0,"findStr":"C:/Users/Till/Desktop/","replaceStr":"","regexConfig":{"enable":false,"partial":true,"options":0},"mathExpression":"( 1 + 2 * 3 ) / 4","useCustomPrompt":false,"inputPrompt":"Assign value to variable:"}]}],"version":"27e6bdc"}Sperbus

This works perfectly, thank you so much!
LAST question: this might require a different plugin, but is there a way to keep the text box the same and have the font size change to fit the bounding box instead of the other way around like it does?

Unfortunately I am not familiar with such an option.
(Maybe someone on the OBS Discord can help with that)
If you change the transform (size), then the text changes size to fit. If you just change the text, then the box changes as you found.
So, I think the solution is to change the text as above, then immediately change the transform back to what you want:
Okay, a bit of testing shows that the straightforward approach to this actually stretches/squashes the text to fit in the exact size specified.
So maybe the better solution would be an update to the Transform action, or maybe a new action, to keep one corner or the center or the center of an edge fixed, and keep or set the aspect ratio while changing just one dimension. Under the hood, it would read the transform, do that math, and then set the transform.

Important information for MacOS users:
If you are running the OBS 30 beta releases on MacOS, the official releases of the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin will not function. In fact, having the plugin installed will result in OBS immediately crashing on startup and prompting you to start in "Safe mode" without any plugins!
Other platforms are *not* affected!
What do I need to do?
The first step should be to back up your existing settings while using the previously compatible version of OBS again.
You will have to do this for each scene collection.
If you want to continue using the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin with the OBS 30 beta, you will have to use this development release of the plugin:
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/actions/runs/5741802989?pr=800
Note that you will have to be logged into GitHub to be able to download it.
Also note that this version of the plugin is not compatible with OBS versions older than OBS 30.
Why is this happening?
This is happening due to an incompatibility in the asio library, which was updated to version 1.28.0 with OBS 30.
The plugin will switch to this new version once OBS 30 was released officially.
(This information was also shared on GitHub)

How does `Source` -> `Set settings` work exactly? Do I see correctly it replaces only the provided settings and leaves the rest in tact? What would be the easiest way to remove some settings? Just set them to blank/opposite values?

And one more question - is there an easy way to check if the opposite of action X happens, if both macros have "Perform actions only on condition change" checked? I tried "If not Macro condition state of Somemacro is true", but that fired when the conditions in Somemacro were matched. If I changed "if not" to "if" the same thing happened.
I assume this is a problem related to "Perform actions only on condition change", but not sure. Any way around it, other than just reversing all conditions from the other macro in the new macro?

For me, it only affects what is actually present in the macro. Everything else is left as-is.
There's really no concept of "removing" settings either. All settings always exist, and they're always equal to something. The default is simply a particular something. If you want that back, you need to set it back. Kinda like a physical knob in that sense.
If you're asking about how to remove settings *from the macro*, then you just pare down the block of text while keeping the structure:
This, for example:
Code:
{
"alignment": 5,
"bottom": 0,
"bounds": {
"x": 1920,
"y": 1080
},
"bounds_alignment": 0,
"bounds_type": 2,
"left": 0,
"pos": {
"x": 0,
"y": 0
},
"right": 0,
"rot": 0,
"scale": {
"x": 1,
"y": 1
},
"size": {
"height": 720,
"width": 1280
},
"top": 0
}
Code:
{
"size": {
"height": 720,
"width": 1280
}
}{}Warmuptill

I am not sure I fully understand, so let me try to rephrase.
You are trying to detect when a macro's conditions are not true, regardless if "Perform actions only on condition change" is checked, right?
So for example, if you have a macro A with condition "if current scene is scene 1", you want to know when the conditions of A are not true, regardless of if the "on change" option is checked, correct?
In that case you could for example uncheck the "on change" option of macro A and instead move its actions to a "wrapper" macro which does have the option enabled.
Here is a screenshot of what I mean:
This would allow you to still check for the state of the conditions of Macro A while performing the actions only "on change" in the "Wrapper" macro.
Alternatively you could use variables to indicate the state of the condition.
What approach is best is difficult to say without knowing more of what you are trying to set up.
Hope that helps! :)

I see, thanks. Do all plugins follow this? I thought I've seen some properties in a source and later not.
I'm basically just trying to minimize clutter wherever possible and was wondering what the easiest way to set up inverse condition "Perform only" macros would be :P Your way makes sense but doesn't really help with that aspect by adding extra macro per inversion, I'll just stick with the reversed conditions.
One more question - is there any way to get text value of text source that's set either from a bunch of various files and through text field? Basically the "displayed text" value. Nothing like that in settings. Maybe possible with reading current file value -> file contents or current text value based on the true/false property that defines where the text is from, an easier way I'm missing though?

An easy but comparatively very resource intensive and potentially inaccurate alternative would be the video conditions's OCR capabilities.
Not sure if that is practical for what you would be using it for.

Yea, that's not what I'm looking for unfortunately, it doesn't work when file is chosen and the much more convoluted approach I mentioned would be required, if it even works.
I don't mind resources too much (for now), although OCR surely can take away some CPU power, but does it detect actual text changes? Doesn't seem to when I tested now. I also think it won't work in the long run regardless because that text source has obstructing animation going on every now and then, so it could detect the video as containing/not containing text intermittently.

Afternoon. So I already use your Advanced Scene Switcher (and what a tool it is, helps a lot) but I'm unsure if this option is available, I have looked through the options/settings, but due to wording and my description, I'm unsure if it's even possible and/or maybe add-able to the plugin? :)
Looking through the scene/sources choices it doesn't appear to jump out at me, but looking at what you can do with the scenes/sources, I'm thinking it 'may' be possible (if implemented)
So I have a random website that is intractable (that you'd click on) in my sources, when I switch to the scene, I right click and 'Interact' which pops it out, allowing me to click on it as I need during the time of use.
I was wondering if there is a setting, option or macro write up available that would make that one source 'interact' automatically when I switch to that scene?
Thanks for your time.

You didn't miss anything - currently this is not supported :)
Just to clarify:
Is your intention to automatically open up the interaction dialog or to automate the interaction with the source itself?
The former should be rather straight forward to implement, while the latter might require quite a bit of work.
In case of the latter, can you provide more details what type of interaction is required? (mouse movement, key presses, etc.)
Update:
A build for the former functionality is available here:
Add option to open interaction dialog of source · WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher@8311b91
An automation tool for OBS Studio. Contribute to WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher development by creating an account on GitHub.

Note that you have to be logged into GitHub to be able to download it.
Let me know if that should be a problem or if you run into issues with the build.

I was experimenting the websocket message to change the aitum vertical scene. It has been excellent. But is there a code to change it's scene transition? I want to have certain vertical scenes with specific scene transitions.

Unfortunately, it seems like the Aitum Vertical plugin does not support a way to change the transition or at least it is not obvious to me how to do so.
I would suggest you ask the plugin developers of Aitum Vertical directly if this is supported / if they are willing to implement it. (If it is already supported by them and they point how how I can of course help you setting up the corresponding websocket action. :))

You Sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
That is exactly what I needed. I had a tendency to forget (old age) to open the 'interact-able' window that I call from my touch portal, using keys through AHK to press and do stuff.
Again, thank you for your time and tweaking to allow me to have the option I needed.
