Scene name vs Source name

Hi,

I am playing around with Windows version of OBS Multi and I found out that if you try name Scene and Source with same name ( even if the source is in different scene) you will get "error warning" Name already exists.
Not sure if its intended.

For example i created first scene named Browser, than wanted to add source with same name, since i normaly use combinations like Scene=Name of the game and Global source=Name of the game, since naming any game just "game" when iam streaming few games is kinda not possible. I mean i can use like "Scene=Name of the game" and
"Source=abbreviation of the game".

Just want to point that out in case its not intended.

Peace

It's actually sort of intended, scenes are technically also just sources.

Hi Jim,

thank you for answer.

Another thing i noticed, when you delete some source from all scenes, it automaticly disapere from "saved" sources (existing) so you need to set it all again.
Is it intended too?
I know in future you should be able to just uncheck the source, but still, since i am trying to have order in my scenes i rather deleting my sources if i dont need them for longer time instead just unchecking them. Because i can re-add them easily if i need to from global source.

I hope you can understand what iam trying to say :))
Peace
