jrDockie (save and load window and dock layouts) v1.3

[dcmouser]

dcmouser submitted a new resource:

jrDockie (save and load window and dock layouts) - Adds a menu for easily saving, loading, and switching between window/dock layouts

This plugin adds a new "Dock Sets" SUBMENU to your toolbar (by default under Docks/).
From this submenu you can quickky save, load, and switch between OBS window and dock layouts (configuration of docks open, sizes, positions, etc.)

THANKS. This seems like a useful plugin. Any chance it could be made to work for MacOS?

 

[dcmouser]

It should compile for MacOs but I'm not really in a position to do it -- hopefully someone else can build it for MacOs.

 

[dcmouser]

I'm happy to field any feature requests, suggestions or thoughts. Let me know if you find the plugin useful!

Just a quick note that I did submit a PR quite a while ago where I incorporated this functionality into the core of OBS code. If the OBS developers ever decide to make this core functionality it's here: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7542

Any way to change Dock Sets use OBS Websockets?

It would be absolutely incredible to quickly change Dock Sets from something like a Stream Deck via OBS Websockets.

 

[dcmouser]

Great idea .. I will add websocket commands that can be invoked to change dock sets.

Beta version with websocket command to load a dock (source not uploaded yet just dll):

WEBSOCKET COMMAND:
Call with Vendor = "JrDockie"
Request command "LoadDockset"
Parameters {"filename": "dockfilenameorfullpathwithorwithoutextension"}

I should say, I don't know what tools people use to send websocket commands using streamdeck. I have my own streamdeck plugin I wrote to send websocket commands to OBS, but I know people must be using something else. Let me know if there are any problems getting the websocket command to work.

 

[dcmouser]

I have updated the beta to add a hotkey to cycle docksets, and a websocket command to do so (see docs/README).

Truly amazing plugin. Thank you so much. I thought of one feature request so far:

Not sure if it’s possible, but could the name of your current dock be shown in the window title where it says the profile and scene collection you’re currently using?

 

[jenks_]

Also maybe a check mark in the menu showing which dock is currently selected (same as the profiles and scene collections menu).

 

[dcmouser]

Added the checkmark for currently selected dock. Keep the ideas coming (at least the easy ones :)

 

[dcmouser]

Again I'm not sure how other people are invoking websocket commands via their streamdeck -- i assume there is some nice polished elegant streamdeck plugin to do it. But if not, you could always try using my streamdeck obs websocket plugin. I haven't bothered to document it much so it may require some experimentation. Please let me know what better tools you guys are using to let your streamdecks send websocket commands to obs!

Here's my streamdeck websocket button plugin:

Source code: https://github.com/dcmouser/obsPlugins/tree/main/jr/com.donationcoder.jrcft.sdPlugin

Note: You specify your connection information (url and password) using the connection tab. The url will be something like "ws://localhost:4455"

Came here to ask about having hotkeys to switch dock sets, but it looks like this websocket thing is doing... Exactly that?
In any case, I think it's intuitive for most people that they'd go into OBS settings -> Hotkeys and find it there.
Not everyone has a streamdeck (I do! But hey...).

Also THANK YOU for this O-SOME tool. Long needed.

 

[dcmouser]

Hi Rod.
The beta has support for BOTH hotkey and websocket:

 

[dcmouser]

I should make the beta the official release now, since it seems stable.
