Hi Jim and the rest of the dev's,

thanks for all your hard work and im excited to see and test this new version (0.7.2).
While i do know you all are hard at work at it to get the core features in, i wanted to ask about a few things.

Do the sources section get the checkboxes back to en/disable sources (or some way to toggle them quickly from the main window)?
Will there come some sort of "preview" or "test" button to check the encoder load without producing any output to the hdd or stream? (to check if the system can hold certain settings)

Currently im using the 64 bit and it seems that i can't add a textsource. Quite odd because im fairly sure i was able to do it with the previous version.

I have an(old) logitech webcam with a buildin mic, and i have disabled the mic in the drivers because i use my headset mic as default in my system.
Somehow the mixer panel in obs still shows a volume bar for my webcam source in the mixer panel, is this intended?
(i don't have the option enabled to use a diff audio device in the cam properties in obs)

Speaking about properties, I noticed that there were no ok/cancel buttons in the propertie windows of sources.
it does save if you click the x but im not sure what is intended here. some way to reset or cancel some options could be handy in some cases i think.

Again thanks for all your hard work ofcourse. hope you get all the things in that you want.

Cheers

Just so you know, just about every single feature that was in the original version will eventually be readded. Because this is pretty much a full rewrite, not everything is back in yet (though getting there)

Checkboxes on sources and such will definitely be put back in, in fact I'm thinking about a minor overhaul on the UI again to make it a bit more sleek. Test encoder is something I'll consider -- it could definitely be a useful thing to have, though generally outputting to a file really quick for about 10 seconds doesn't hurt for the time being.

Video devices currently always show on the mixer just because they're a type of source that can have audio. I'll make a way so they don't display when their audio isn't actually in use though, someone else brought that up and it's a good point and it's useful to reduce clutter. Should be easy.

OK/Cancel in the properties is something we're going to add.

Hi Jim, thanks for taking the time to relpy.

I understand that you want it be like obs1 and that you are working hard to add everything back in.
The things that i reported were not mentioned in you to-do list in the sticky so thats basicly why i reported them.
next time ill keep in mind that i dont have to mention the "missing" things that were also in obs1 :)

Cheers and gl with the rest of the re-write, cant wait till it gets to the point when totally new features get added :D
