Where I face issues is I can't figure the next step after setting

I've set a new variable as

Current Value>0
Save / Load Behavior>Save Variable Value

`Set to macro property` is what you need. Then `File content`. `Set to condition value` with proper condition could also work, but this is much cleaner.
Could you please be more specific with images or pseudo language for what i need to do. Im a bit lost on how to use macro property since it doesnt have anything that shows in the drop down menu and I dont find file content on then section unless you mean File as the above image i sent you.
Mind you Initial Score is not set to anything since I can't find how for it to fetch score.txt
After some digging I think I got what you meant :) Thank you so much!

Hi @Warmuptill, Is there a function that allows us to toggle conditions on/off within the actions of a macro?
I believe the thing you are looking for is under Macro on then section where you can select from the drop down menu to Toggle action (Enable action / Disable action /... + ) and can even specify which action you want to disable based on the number.
For example this Macro is set to 1 and will toggle the switch condition above it which is the Variable. If it was on 2 it would toggle the Macro since its the 2nd one in order. Macro 8 is basically the naming of the Macro you want this to be applied to.

Do you mean action that turns off some macro conditions? If so, I remember this being a feature request https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/issues/974 - they can't be turned off in the 1st place, only actions can. You need to currently use a variable (e.g. SomeConditionEnabled) and proper if condition priority for checking it to work around it.

Is there any documentation available for the RUN action in advss? I'm trying to find *any* way to automatically re-select the correct window capture sources for MacOS Window Capture when I launch OBS.
I have a script (appended below) that returns the window ID when I run it in terminal, and have confirmed it's the same ID that advss returns when I click "get current" after manually selecting the intended window, but when I try to run the script from advss, the only output I can seem to get is the "Process ID" of the running script. Everything else is just blank when I try to view it either as a variable or "set" the Standard or Error Output as a property of the source.
The best I can do for now is get advss to at least open the "properties" dialog automatically when the relevant app runs so I can select the window manually--and for that I'm very grateful as lacking "Window Match Priority" for MacOS screen capture has been a yearslong hassle at this point and it appears to be deliberately omitted. Apparently it used to be available in the deprecated Window Capture source options, but it seems to be gone now.
Grateful for any suggestions.

Hi, I'm experiencing issues on advanced scene switcher on macOS. I've made a macro which open up the interaction menu and is supposed to do hotkey CTRL+Return, but for some reason its not toggling that hotkey inside of the interaction menu that opens. I've tested it on my windows system and it works great there. What could be the workaround for this?

No documentation needed. Do you have `Wait for process exit or at most` option ticked in the action? There's a hint there that it has to be ticked for macro properties to work, since if you don't wait the process is detached and this plugin has no control over it. Well, it could be read in theory, but to not disturb the flow of actions it'd need to wait for process to finish anyways. Would be great to also add that info when selecting the affected macro properties, but no such capability as of now.

I do have that option ticked. No joy.
Oh, dang it. I hadn't made the script executable! I'd just been running the Yabai command, which worked, and not the script itself!
Figures. Sorry to waste your time.

I just tried installing the Advanced Scene Switcher 1.28.1 universal pkg on my Mac Mini M1 that is running OBS 31.0.1 and believe I authorized all the necessary permissions in Settings and installation showed successful. When I open OBS and click on the Tools drop down I am not seeing Advance Scene Switcher as an option. If you could please follow up with any support I would appreciate it.

Can you please share an OBS log file?
This might give an indication why the plugin failed to load.
Dear WarmUpTill, without your plugin now as without hands - all lecture work is based on it. A fantastic product! But there was a problem: the antivirus program Intego, after another update of the virus databases, detected a virus in version 1.28.1. I am attaching a screenshot and really counting on your help.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I'm not surprised. Their purpose was over about a decade ago. They're mostly theater now. They have to convince you that they're doing something and worth continuing to pay for, and so they do stuff like this.
If you practice good internet hygiene yourself, you don't need third-party AV anymore. Get rid of it.
The OS itself now, handles the threats that you have nothing to do with (this is why you keep it up to date), and you don't "play in the mud" yourself.

Similar things happened in the past with other antivirus vendors, but resolved itself / were resolved after reporting the false positive.
The plugin is open source.
If you want to and are able to you can re-build the plugin yourself, which will probably be enough for it be no longer being detected:
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/blob/master/BUILDING.md
Alternatively, if you have an GitHub account, you can try using the most recent CI build from the master branch:
master push run · WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher@ae25b4d

Unfortunately, besides saying that there is not much I can do about it.

There doesn't seem to be any indication of the plugin being even attempted to be loaded.
Can you check if the following folder exists?
<path to your user folder>/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher.plugin

Thanks for the reply. I don't see the "plugins" folder under the Application Support/obs-studio folder. See screen shot... I believe I have given all necessary permissions to OBS in the Mac settings... not sure what to try...
