As a newcommer to the obs plugin world, today I lost quite some time to figure out how to install this plugin. To help others avoid the same frustration, I took the liberty of putting some instructions in the readme. Excellent plugin, btw.

Hi @antoniomarcelob,

First off, apologies for the insufficient documentation on installation. Better documenting my plugins is definitely an area where I am trying to improve.

Second, thank you very much for making a PR to add this info to the readme. I'll give it a quick review this weekend, and get it merged in.

So... I just reinstalled obs via flatpak and the steps I described does't work anymore. It doesn't even create the obs-studio folder inside .config; Instead, it is created inside .var/app, tryed to reproduce the steps I described inside that folder, but no success.

Any clue of what is happening?

From what I've heard, there was a major change in how OBS 30.2 handles flatpacks. Unfortuantely, I have little experience with Linux, but some others have been looking into it. I'm not sure if that is the issue you're running into.

I'll be diving into Advanced Masks, as well as my other plugins in the coming weeks (once I release v1.0 of the Quick Access Utilities plugin I've been working on). Hopefully I can have a better answer for you then.

Ok, I got it. When installed via apt, the config folder created is inside .config. Installed via flatpak it is created inside .var.

I had no success installing the plugin in flatpak installation. The steps I described in readme corresponds to the apt installation
