[Feature Request] New variable for filename formatting

[ORSAz]

It might be a niche idea but, I think it would be great to have a variable that would automatically put the name of the window or app that's being recorded. This would make sorting files much easier in the Windows File Explorer.

We already have variables for time that depend on Operating Systems (e.g Unix time) and I know Windows Game Bar has that functionality.

By the way, I did some research on the forum before posting this and the posts with a subject close to this one have been archived years ago.

There is a plugin currenlty Microsoft Windows only :

GitHub - EZ64cool/obs-hadowplay

Contribute to EZ64cool/obs-hadowplay development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

And a Python script:

OBS Python - Advanced Filename Formatter

This substitutes the base OBS filename formatting with an extended one, allowing naming files based on current scene, currently captured programs, source state ...etc. Documentation on the added tokens and the way they work can be found here...
