Expected Behavior

Ticking the 'Read from file' box should disable the 'Text' box, and replace it with a path to file box.

Current Behavior

The 'Text' box never disappears, and when a file location is entered into it, nothing happens

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open OBS (Using an M1 Mac Mini)
  2. Add Text (FreeType 2)
  3. Click 'Read from file'

Anything else we should know?

Reading the log, I can see that it fails to open file '' - presumably this is because I can't populate the field that it would normally source the path from.

If you scroll down a little in the properties window, you will see a text area for the file name. That’s where you should put the file name instead of the normal text box

Found it - thanks!

I'd suggest that this should be changed, however, to mimic the behaviour of the Windows build, where the 'Text' field is replaced with the Path field - it caught me out, for sure, because I was expecting that to occur, and didn't read the other field. (Silly me!)
