Shaderfilter overwrites the default OBS Studio wipes.json file, possibly destroying configuration options.

[skeletonbow]

OBS Shaderfilter 1.2.1 is installed by manually copying the 'data' and 'obs-plugins' directories out of the ZIP archive into the OBS Studio top level directory 'obs-studio'. The plugin contains additional luma-wipe transitions, and includes an updated 'wipes.json' config file to inform OBS about them, however since the plugin contains no installer, this simply overwrites the existing config file that ships with OBS which may or may not be newer, or may have been customized by the user, thus blowing away the configuration and overriding it.

A far better way of integrating into the OBS software would be to merge the desired changes into the file by modifying and integrating it into the JSON, either by processing it with a JSON library and adding entries during installation, or by using text file scraping methods. Likewise, upon uninstall, it should remove such entries from the OBS configuration.

This is bad form and could result in new luma wipes that get added to OBS by the project or by the user in having their configuration overwritten with old data.
