Bug Report Crash when using Wildcards in Scene Switcher

[denyerec]

Attempting to use wildcards to get the auto scene switcher to work with awkward MDI programs like Photoshop and Lightroom.

Entering the following into the Scene Switcher dialog causes an application crash:

*Lightroom*


Crash entry in the log is as follows:

Unhandled exception: e06d7363
Fault address: 7FFC55581F28 (c:\windows\system32\kernelbase.dll)

Couldn't get the logfile to attach so I've placed it here:

Probably it fixed already by this commit: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/commit/5642b7bc66affe50771a5fd58082b93c8a45ce5b
So we'll see that in the next build of the Studio.

That is because the Scene Switcher does not expect Windows-style wildcards. It expects regular expressions. Since an asterisk with nothing preceding it is not a valid regular expression, it crashes. In your case, you would need to use ".*Lightroom.*", without the quotes.

As @Suslik V has pointed out, this has been fixed. The Mantis bug for this is here.
