v0.2.3 — Search, undo, and a deeper OBS catalogue

Choose a tag to compare

@javocsoft javocsoft released this 26 Jul 13:28

A quality-of-life release for the editor: find what you need, take back what you didn't mean, and reach three more corners of OBS.

Find things instead of remembering where they are

Search every action at once. The magnifier beside the Action dropdown searches all 42 actions by name, category, id — and by what they do. Typing webcam finds Virtual camera on/off; chroma key finds Enable/disable filter; back in 5 finds Set text source. Terms work in any order, and Enter picks the best match. You no longer have to know which category an action lives in before you can use it.

Every action now carries a description, so nothing is invisible to that search — twelve of them had none.

Find a key with Ctrl+F, or ⋮ → Find a key…. It searches every profile, page and nested folder by label, action or parameter value — mic, scene Live, 05:00 — shows you where each match lives, and jumps straight there when you pick one.

Undo

Ctrl+Z, or right-click a key → Undo last change. Clearing a key, pasting over one and dragging one to a new slot can all be taken back, up to 20 changes deep.

The history belongs to the grid you are looking at, so switching page, profile or folder starts a fresh one — restoring a key into a grid you have left would be invisible, and inside a folder the same slot is a different key entirely.

Test the whole key without hardware

A Single / double / long press key could only ever be half-tested on screen: a click has no release to time, so it always ran the single-press list. The •• and buttons beside Test now run the other two lists directly. The physical deck still resolves real gestures from its own timing, exactly as before.

Three more OBS actions

Action What it does
Set text source Replace what a text source displays — a countdown, a "back in 5" card, a now-playing line. Your font and colour are preserved.
Refresh browser source Reload a browser source, bypassing its cache.
Move/scale source Set or nudge a source's position, scale or rotation. adjust adds to the current value, so one key can move something step by step.

Fixes

  • Sources inside a group are now listed. Only the group itself appeared in the Source dropdown, so nothing inside it could be selected. Show/hide and the new transform action address them correctly too — OBS refers to a group's children by the group's name, not the scene's, so listing them without that would have produced keys that failed on press.

Install

Download linux-stream-deck-0.2.3.deb below and double-click it. Your software
centre installs it and pulls in the dependencies.

Prefer a terminal?

sudo apt install ./linux-stream-deck-0.2.3.deb

Either way there is nothing else to do: the package reloads the USB rule itself, so
you do not need to unplug the Stream Deck or log out.

Software centre still showing the old version, or no icon?

The package ships AppStream metadata, but the system cache is only rebuilt
periodically. To refresh it now:

sudo appstreamcli refresh-cache --force

Then close and reopen the software centre. This is purely cosmetic — the
application works either way.
