I work with a number of sports casters and they use a lot of lower thirds for team members and advertisements.
It would be handy if after adding a image or video input and that file came from a folder with all the other similar
images or video such as lower thirds, overlays and video files all we needed to do is right click on the input and it would list the remaining files allowing sellection of the desired file. This would great assist in managing the number of modules needed to be open at any given time.
Just like the tile input module when you add multiple names to the list, we can right click and select the next name without having to open the properties panel.

I could imagine a little tool that has a list of all files and/or titles you need (maybe even drag&drop the files into it) and when you double-click one it will load that file or title into vMix via web interface. This ain't hard to code, and might come in handy. If only i knew the correct api-syntax to change the second line of a lower-third overlay...?

?function=SetText&Input=x&Value=Titletext

This will set the first line; but how to change the description?

@ Eric
Is this not already possible by using the "photos" input?
All my overlays are in one folder and I load that into the input and simply select the image I want from the pop-up on right click.
Or perhaps I have mis-understood your post.
