StreamDeck sync widget names on device?

I just got back to getting my previous StreamDeck test setup working on GP5 which works just as I had it on GP4.

I did realize that the StreamDeck had its button caption set explicitly in the StreamDeck software and wasn’t reading it from the GP caption field. Is this something I overlooked how to set up originally or is that functionality not currently in the extension/plugin?

If it’s not, I hope it’s something that could be added in the future.

That depends on @timothyschoen :slight_smile:

If I understand correctly, the behaviour you want is that Stream Deck widget names are automatically renamed if you rename them in Gig Performer?

This might be possible, but I think it can create some difficult situations if you were to rename a widget to a name that already exists?

I was asking if the captions could be synced between GP and the Streamdeck. The GPScript name would stay the same, but the label/caption would be read from GP and changed in the Streamdeck button display. Not sure if this is possible on the Streamdeck side, but would be nice to have the buttons show the current caption as rackspaces are switched vs a generic static name.

Ah, thanks for clarifying, that makes sense.

I will check if there is a way to listen for label changes, if we can do that with the GigPerformer API, I’ll add it!

Thanks for checking into it. I think it will be a useful feature
