I have some questions about this feature.
As I understand it you can choose that the software uses text from a "txt"- file. In that regard, how does it handle this file? Does it lock the txt file for editing if you have the OBS software running, basically making it read-only? At what point does the OBS software read the info in the file and does OBS check if there are changes made in the file during runtime so you can change the text when broadcasting, or do you have to reload the scene to read the new text in the file? In that case, is there a way do to this automatically if the software doesn't detect the changes?
In my specific case, I would like to read a txt file with info and then scroll this info as a text layer in the program. After it has scrolled to the end of the text I would like the program to see if there has been a change (or just reread) in the txt file and scroll the new (old) info again. I would then use an external program to write to the txt file when needed.
