Hello all!
A couple of simple questions when using GUIDs.
1. What's the easiest way to get a list of the currently available input/source GUIDs?
2. When using them in scripts, assigned to variables, are they strings?
3. If I take an input, say an image, and replace it with a new image (by using Change button), does the GUID change?
4. If using a list, is the list assigned a GUID or each element?
Thanks!

If you want additional details or desire to reference them manually, it might be easier to just look at the API file. Originally Posted by: fgolman 2. When using them in scripts, assigned to variables, are they strings? I've used them as strings with no issue. Given that the input key is entirely numeric, you might be able to class them as an integer. I've never tried, nor do I see the benefit. Originally Posted by: fgolman 3.

It did not change. Originally Posted by: fgolman 4. If using a list, is the list assigned a GUID or each element? Again, this feels like something you could've tested on your own, but I'll, again, test it for you. Using the List input, the key was assigned to the List input itself, and the individual items within the list got subitems in the format of: Code:<list>
<item>File location</item>
</list>
Using a Playlist, every input gets their own key as expected, and the Playlist status is only reflected in the tag: Code:<playList>True</playList>
