Multiple window/screen capture query on start in OBS

Issues & Assistance
1

I have a usability issue with OBS:

  • on the start of the programm it opens every window/screen capture window
    (w/o a signature which is which)
  • And there is no binding to a specific window for capturing by name.

Is this a feature of wayland or linux or is it something else?
*i am on KDE Plasma, Wayland

I am unsure. If you logout and select X11/Xorg session, does it make a difference?

In Xorg app seems to be remember the preferences:
i managed to add few screen/window captures and it doesn’t spam me at the restart of OBS.
Strange, does it Wayland way to go or some missunderstanding from the application?

Perhaps follow the instructions for Wayland from here:

It seems to be no exact solution for this in article, but thx.
I would stay in Xorg session for now while i need obs.
