Bug Report OBS 17.0.0 crashes if you enter a space as replay buffer prefix

actually 2 bugs:

- in settings->advanced->Replay buffer filename prefix, if you replace the default "Replay" with an empty string, because you don't want any prefix, OBS will fill this field with "Replay" again if you close and restart OBS

- if you set this field to " " (one space) to avoid the above situation, OBS will not start any more the next time. If I edit C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\basic\profiles\<current profile name>\basic.ini and remove the space at "RecRBPrefix=", it will start again.
A crashdump is produced in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\CrashDumps on startup. I can upload one, if you are interested, but I think it's a trivial bug so no crashdump required.

Proposal: Instead of pasting a prefix and suffix to the recording filename for the replay filename, make 2 fields with macro processing:
Recording Filename Formatting: %CCYY-%MM-%DD %hh-%mm-%ss
Replay Filename Formatting: Replay %CCYY-%MM-%DD %hh-%mm-%ss

So we can set the complete Replay Filename, not only prefix and suffix.
 
I came to post about the first bug OP posted but will comment in existing thread instead. If I clear the "Replay buffer filename prefix" it will be filled again with "Replay" the next time I start OBS.

Also a minor issue with suffixes, OBS seems to prepend a space character before the suffix (example: 2018-01-22 21-00-31 -highlight.m4v) even though there is no space character in the suffix option textbox.

Thanks!
 
Unfortunately, the reported bug still exists with 21.0.1. It is absolutely unchanged and present for 2 years, still same description.
Perhaps it is intended behavior, I don't know.
