event for any item configuration change #104

Closed paul-lrr closed 7 years ago

paul-lrr commented 8 years ago

As mentioned is a few other issues (eg. #97 and #92), firing events when various item properties change would be very useful for a variety of plugin purposes. In addition to these events and maybe as a first step before all the events can be individually implemented, it would go a long way to help if there was just a general "Item Changed" event that would emit the item id whenever anything happened to an item that would change its configuration (ie. anything that would affect the result of the item.toXML() function). That way a plugin would at least know when an item has been changed and be able to easily check if whatever property it cares about has been modified. Checking for a specific property whenever anything is modified isn't ideal, but it is a lot better then constantly poling.

Separate events for every property change would obviously be even better, but this seems like it would be almost as good for a lot of situations.

Really great suggestion @paul-lrr !

We've filed this in our internal issue tracker (CPPCORE-1080), hopefully we don't run into too many technical barriers for this. I'll assign a milestone when we get an implementation inside XSplit.

On a related note (not sure if this should be a separate issue) it would also be very useful to have an event emitted when a new item is added to a scene. Ideally with the item id so that a plugin could then query that new item for whatever info it needs.
