Description
Once I installed StreamFX and run OBS I saw an about screen pop up.
I thought it's just a one-time thing, but it shows up every time I start OBS, which is really annoying.
Manjaro Linux, installed StreamFX from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-streamfx
Check your user configuration directory (usually ~/.config/obs-studio/plugin_config/StreamFX/) for a file called config.json. In my case, the contents of the file are:
{
"UI.HaveShownAboutStreamFX": true,
"Version": 38654705665
}
This file and the content needs to be present for the check to not fail.
Thanks, so I guess if I have this file present, StreamFX will stop showing the About dialog at each run?
Ok, the StreamFX subdirectory wasn't present. I've added it and the json file, restarted OBS and no more About dialog - thank you!

Yes. It's supposed to automatically create it, but something seems to have prevented that from happening. Chances are that the person compiling it used a standard c++ library where this check isn't fully implemented or working: https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/blob/master/source/configuration.cpp#L33
