Request: Make GT Title items/presets visible in the API.

Today, in the context of Bitfocus Companion, $(vmix:input_GTTITLE_layer_0_titletext) will return the value of the active preset in the GT Title input.

It is not possible to know the values of preset 2,3, etc without using NextItem or SelectTitlePreset to change the active item/preset first.

As an example of use, I would like to use a GT Title for lower thirds. Today I use 3 buttons. The first one shows the active preset (and pressing it toggles the lower third as an overlay), then there is a previous and next button. For longer lists, this means a lot of scrolling back and forth. With the information in the other presets, I could make buttons for preset 1,2,3 etc and the buttons would show the names instead.

If it would make it easier, I expect the presets could be enumerated as an array. I could choose by index value. (Index 0 being the first) This would probably hit performance less.

Why not simply use a datasource as you can scroll through it to select

Valid questions. For reasons I can't go into here, we're trying to avoid using data sources. (It's not a good reason, but I'm stuck with it)
