Text overlay, extravars. Does not respond to an empty file.

Post by Mike Scott »

Text overlay, extravars. Does not respond to an empty file. I have the 'forceoverlayimageupdate.txt in place, and if the content of the file change it is seen in 5 sec. except when the content of the file is nothing. In that case the change is ignored. One can put a space, that works, but then you get the text background with no text. If no text background the space option works, but in my case I need the text background.

Suggestion: yawcam omits the the text overlay if the extravars file contains text %blank%, that way there is run time control of the overlay including fixed text or vars, eg: time.
