Capture.list() with video library 2.0 does not enumerate all camera configurations of each camera, just the unique camera names. That means that it is not possible to search for a specific configuration and then initialize the camera using the constructor Capture(parent, requestConfig). That was possible with the Video 1.0.1 library list() method and is still described in the video tutorial ([Video \ Processing.org](https://www.processing.org/tutorials/video/))). I have reverted to the previous version for now, but is this going to be the behavior from now on? Is there any other way to get a list of all configurations (names, resolution an frame rate)?

Any update on this?
