Thank you @Exeldro for this great update!
It a great improvement from the previous design! Now I can see clearly which dock is active or previewed.

@Exeldro, thx for this and the other great plugins you bring to the community!!

I have a situation here that happens with all versions above 0.3.6, and it's not related to the obs version (I'm using 30.0.2 on production but did some tests with 30.1.2 without success)

How do we use the plugin:
We created a "multiview" dock with four scenes in it. We put the name and shortcut for each scene to remember the OBS operators.
Dock print:

The problem:
After updating the plugin to version 0.3.7+ every time OBS is started the dock loses the size of the scenes inside it. Reverting to v0.3.6 the problem doesn't exist.
Error print:

Do you think there's a way to resolve it?
Please, let me know if there's some file I can upload here to help investigate it.

Thx,
bpmacedo

Sup Exeldro!
Great job as always.
I'm using it to control a browser source that has youtube in it, very clean.
But the dock doesn't take mouse scroll wheel input, so I can't scroll the youtube page in there.
Any other way to do it?

Hi, I would like to remind you that the multimedia control doesn't work throughout all 2024.
Tested on Windows 10 with VLC-video source.

Is it possible to make the "Filters" window also a dock? every time I open the filter properties from any source, it opens a new pop up window in the middle of the screen, it would be nice if this window could be docked on a fixed position, and everytime I select a source, the filter dock refreshes to that source.

Dear Exeldro,
Thank you for the fantastic Source Dock plugin—it’s transformed how I manage my OBS setup by providing a clickable, Multiview-like interface for scene previews!

I have a feature request that I believe would make Source Dock even more powerful for users like me who work with layered scenes in live productions.

Feature Idea: Add an option to include or exclude a specific source within a scene (e.g., a slides layer) from a scene’s preview in the Source Dock, while keeping that source visible in the scene’s program output when selected.

Use Case: My setup includes three scenes (Cam 1, Cam 2, Cam 3), each with a ptz camera source, a nested audio scene, and a top-layer slides source e.g. powerpoint. The slides often obscure the camera feed in the program output, which is intentional for the live feed. However, when using Source Dock to preview these scenes, the slides also cover the camera feed in the dock, making it hard to monitor the cameras and make adjustments to the ptz controls. I currently use projectors to view raw camera feeds, but Source Dock’s clickable interface is much more elegant. I’d love to configure Source Dock to show the scene’s camera feed without the slides source in the dock’s preview, while ensuring the slides remain in the program output when I select the scene to go live.
Why It’s Valuable:

• Improved Monitoring: Users could monitor critical sources (e.g., cameras) in Source Dock without top-layer overlays (e.g., slides or graphics) obscuring the preview.
• Streamlined Workflow: Combines the benefits of raw source previews with Source Dock’s clickable scene-switching, reducing reliance on projectors or extra scenes.
• Flexibility: Supports complex live production setups where scenes have multiple layers, common in worship, streaming, or event broadcasting.

Implementation Thoughts: Perhaps this could be implemented by adding a setting in the Source Dock dialog to specify a source within a scene to display but retain the scene as the target for clicks?

I’d be happy to provide more details, test prototypes, or assist with development if you’re open to it.

I know you maintain many plugins and appreciate your time. This feature would be a game-changer for my workflow and likely others with similar setups. Please let me know if this aligns with Source Dock’s roadmap or if you’d like to discuss further!

Actually I discovered I can probably achieve what I wanted with your down stream keyer plugin!

I'm finding that the docks do not persist when I quit and reload obs, they are still listed in the source dock ui but don't show up. Then the next time one shows up but not another. So I have to delete them and create the ui I want again. Seems like a bug?

When using a 'browser source' within a source dock, it does not appear possible to interact with it.. Is this something that was 'disabled' in the recent update or perhaps an error on my side?

I have the same doubt...

If you are flipping between

Does running OBS as Administrator make a difference? I loaded up OBS just now, and was replicated the situation you were experiencing. Switching between scene collections doesn't always work well with Docks. That being said, I was experiencing something similar to you described. I ran it as administrator, setup my docks, and now they seem to be staying as they should. Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, but suddenly (running OBS in normal mode) everything works. now.
