How to disable all options to show only "FPS : X" like Steam

[Kzimir]

Hi,

I would like to know where and how i can disable all options to show only "FPS : X".
I want even to remove "Frame Timing", "AFD" and "ODSATSPF".

Thanks

Thank you for using GLXOSD!

1. Open glxosd_config.lua. For details on how to find it, please see the documentation.
2. Disable all osd_data_providers except "plugins/OSD/dataproviders/FrameDataProvider" by chaning enabled = true to enabled = false.
3. In FrameDataProvider's configuration, change data_order to only contain "FPS".

For 3-, it's formatterfunction.lua in /etc/glxosd/OSD/dataproviders/FrameDataProvider ?
Because when i remove all options except FPS in "local DATA_WRITERS", glxosd has an error message when i launch it :

Frame data provider plugin error: formatter function threw and error: ...SD/dataproviders/FrameDataProvider/formatterfunction.lua:53: attempt to call a nil value stack traceback: /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/util/util.lua:24: in function 'log_error' ...//glxosd/plugins/OSD/dataproviders/FrameDataProvider.lua:124: in function 'get_text' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/plugins/OSD/OSD.lua:65: in function 'func' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/plugins/OSD/OSD.lua:35: in function </usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/plugins/OSD/OSD.lua:35> [C]: in function 'pcall' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/plugins/OSD/OSD.lua:35: in function 'each_data_provider' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/plugins/OSD/OSD.lua:64: in function 'render' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Context.lua:57: in function 'func' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Context.lua:29: in function </usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Context.lua:29> [C]: in function 'pcall' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Context.lua:29: in function 'each_plugin' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Context.lua:56: in function 'render' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Main.lua:97: in function </usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Main.lua:96> [C]: in function 'xpcall' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/rendering/normalise_gl_state.lua:168: in function 'do_when_gl_state_is_normal' /usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Main.lua:96: in function </usr/share/glxosd//glxosd/Main.lua:79>

Ok, i found it, it was the wrong file.

Now, i have :
Frame timings
FPS : X

How to remove Frame Timing ?

Set enabled to false in DEFAULT_HEADER_CONFIG.

I think this information should be part of README and/or documentation right from the start. Customization of this software is very counterintuitive and complex, it's a turn-off. It is not a nice design to be required to understand so much of internals of the program to make a simple run. Maybe a way to mitigate it would be by shipping sample configuration for common cases, like showing only the FPS?
