Question / Help How to let OBS create Source topic by timestamp and avoid annoying prompt?

When users want to capture a window they are prompted to enter a topic/name for this capture.

By default its "Window capture".

If you start captures frequently then this prompt is really annoying.
How can I tell OBS to auto-generate a label with the timestamp as part of it e.g.

obs_capture_20170303-172522

The name of the Source is unique (Window Capture, Window Capture 2, Window Capture 3 etc.) each time you create new one you are prompted with new name.

Also, you don't need to create a new capture source every time you want to capture the same application.
