While changing different settings, including for audio experimentation, I frequently forget to restart vMix, thus sometimes getting fooled that a settings idea does not work. Furthermore, I think for new users it is very easy to miss the note that a restart is required.

Therefore I request that when any settings changes are made, except the "handful", vMix should ask "Restart vMix to apply changes?". And if the answer is Yes, restart vMix (and automatically reload the current preset, but that's sort of in another feature request).

Thanks.

I've worked out a consistent way of managing this and it will be available in vMix 14.
vMix 14 will be a maintenance release covering a lot of small UI updates that were missed in vMix 13, so it shouldn't be too far away.

Wonderful!
And I guess that it is typically also necessary to restart when importing a setting.
