Question / Help Please rethink changing defaults for potentially 100's objects without giving us a choice!

Please rethink changing defaults for potentially 100's objects without giving us a choice! You turned off hardware encoding for ALL 480+ media sources I have in OBS. I run OBS on a streaming-only PC (gaming on a separate PC via capture card), so I am mainly worried about high CPU usage, not GPU usage. Now, I have to edit 580+ media sources to change a setting, to prevent high CPU usage. Please, if you are going to make sweeping setting changes for potentially 100's of different objects or more, consider giving us an option *not* to have that setting changed, or give us an option to change them all back! Maybe a better option is to give us something in advanced settings that lets us set which default we want, apply this once to all existing relevant objects/sources, or something without forcing a ton of unnecessary, repetitive work.

*** I appreciate all the hard work the OBS Project folks put into this, all for free! You folks, ROCK! Just please rethink doing sweeping changes to existing objects without giving us any options to skip or undo it.

If I have missed an obvious way to avoid touching every single media source I have in OBS, I apologize in advance. I am just a bit peeved, at the moment, because I get to spend the next hour or 3, changing settings that I didn't want changed to begin with.

If anyone knows of a script that could be used to change all these setting back, any info would be greatly appreciated!

No GPU can handle that amount concurrent hardware acceleration sessions, so your configuration would have broke.
