SUMMARY Currently, window capture in OBS opens a popup for every window, instead of remembering the last known application like it does on X11. In the OBS community they said it was a Wayland issue, on the Wayland git they said it was an application or compositor issue. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch OBS 2. Add a window capture source 3. Restart OBS OBSERVED RESULT A popup appears EXPECTED RESULT It keeps a reference to the previous window title/application and captures it when it becomes available SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.8-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 62.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 Manufacturer: ASUS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION See also: - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/463 - https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/10627
Changed the title. It's not that it's restricted, it's that it's just not working, it used to work.
Sorry if I'm wrong, but doesn't restoring windows only apply to windows in the same session? I meant to open this issue not just for reopening in the same session, but more importantly, across multiple sessions and/or reboots.
This is fixed in Plasma 6.1.
