Some ideas for improvement to the QT feature:

  1. Allow viewing and editing profiles (ideally), or at the very least add a way to save the current setup to an already existing profile. (see * below)
  2. Show the changed devices in the notification, or at least the main ones (playback/recording/comm). (see * below)
  3. Allow selection of devices to include to be changed (or an option to include only active/selected devices?), instead of all or nothing.*
  4. Allow a hotkey to cycle profiles rather than requiring a separate one for each.
  5. Add an option to control how long the notification shows.

*This actually has me a bit confused. I'm not sure if QT is even working in the way I thought, and so maybe it could use some clarification in the settings and maybe, depending on just what exactly it's doing, some additional functionality. I assumed it was working like SoundSwitch (see #36), where it's switching the playback, recording, and/or communication devices, but now I'm not so sure, since it wouldn't make sense then to include all devices, as it would only need the active/selected ones. Maybe it is doing that and the purpose of selecting other devices is so even if they're not active any app volumes for them can be saved under a profile, but it's really not clear. I'm assuming that's what's going on, but it would be better to know than to have to guess, and even then that's only after questioning why it was saving 8 devices in the profiles. I think the profiles are meant more to for example have a day and night profile with different volumes for each device, which I can definitely see the usefulness to that, whereas I think of it more as simply setting different device configurations, e.g. speaker + desktop mic vs headset + headset mic. So maybe it's just me, but this has led to a fair bit of confusion, and makes me wonder if things could be clarified as well as maybe tweaks done, mainly as mentioned above, to allow it to function in a better capacity like with SoundSwitch as well as in a day/night-type toggle.

Hope that makes sense.
