Suggested extensions

[Wecksten]

Hi. I have a few ideas about future extensions to WebCamStudio and I
would like some feedback from you guys.

* Automatic detection of coordinates by the push of a button in
desktop capture, using xwininfo.
* Built in support for broadcast to popular sites. I think this is
important to increase the user base. For example, for Bambuser etc., a
form with a button that loads the xml-file and presents all the
parameters, allowing you to tweak. Another button for "Broadcast".
* Templates, WC-style. My idea is that the layouts could be turned
into templates by adding virtual abstract devices that can be
configured. When you pick a layout and drag and drop physical devices
into a template on these abstract devices the template is populated
and turn into a "studio" or "live pane" or what ever.
* Multiple triggers for layouts. Time trigger is really great, but
sometime you want a slip lock until a key press or mouse click. In my
case; title+intro -time trigger-> face camera -event trigger-> outro
+end

Further, things that should be posted as issues, but I have not yet
tried it out enough:
* sound source selection gets messed up after a single run. Is this
bad threading or is it bad Ubuntu?
* layout triggering easily gets messed up. Is this just me? Some kind
of control window might be needed.
* background image is on by default, but it is marked as disabled in
menu = turn on+turn off, to turn off. Should start on, marked on?
* "No color" is greyish, should be black or selectable?

Think that is it for now.
