Possibly cleaning up large amounts of sources?

[Goldio]

Since starting console streaming vs my old streams of PC games I've run into new problems I didn't face before. The biggest one being the amount of sources I have.

With a tournament being run I have on one scene:
Text for bracket
Text for Score Right
Text for Score Left
Text for Player Right
Text for Player Left
Text for Player Cam Top
Text for Player Cam Bottom
+Many other random texts such as bracket links and tournament start time

The Capture Card
The Player Cam 1
The Player Cam 2

Overlays

I think one of these 2 options would solve my problems and possible others. Let me know if either of these are possible. One is a simple fix while the other is slightly more involved. If there is already a better way of doing things let me know as well. Thank you.

I like the idea +1.

Your first option is rather confusing. Am I understanding it correctly that all you're implying in that image is just to increase the size of the control box? The second one is grouping sources, I assume.

Generally a textual description of your suggestions would be very helpful. Anyway. Grouping of sources is something that will probably be possible in the rewrite, though probably not in the simple interface. The studio interface should have extended support for those things.

About the first solution, how would it work, be larger by default? automatically grow with the amount of souces, is there a max? Make it a setting? I'm not sure if this adds enough for the hassle of implementing it decently.

The reason i posted the first one was because I assumed the 2nd would be in OBS rewrite but would not be put out anytime soon in original.

I guess the best way to describe how i envision it is to be able to drag the controls group up or down and it would scale the preview window as such. Right now the Scenes/Sources and all the controls do not change size ever and OBS simply scales up or down the preview. I'd like to be able to just lift the controls higher and stretch out the Sources option so I can at least see all of them at once. Managing my sources is much more important than seeing the preview window at a larger scale.

Thanks for the help.

Good thing, in the rewrite you will probably be able to even build your own OBS style. But things like that will not be added to OBS1 unless someone jumps in and writes them. The programming focus lies on the rewrite!
