Expected Behavior

When I import a Stream Collection, I expect to see it in the Stream Collection list in the Dropdown menu

Current Behavior

When I import a Stream Collection, the Scene Collection doesn't appear in the Stream Collection list in the dropdown.

It's a silent error: no error or crash occur, and there is no log entry about the error.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new Stream Collection
2. Export the Stream Collection
3. Remove the exported Stream Collection
4. Import the exported Stream Collection

Anything else we should know?

From what OS did you export this scene collection?

[santakadev]

I exported it form the same machine (Ubuntu 22.04) and same OBS Version installation (28.0.1).

It doesn't works with stream collections exported from MacOS either.

[RytoEX]

I can confirm that this is occurring, but the import mechanism is actually working as designed, sort of. On Windows, when you select a scene collection for import, it automatically checks the box on the left of the row to confirm the selection for import. On Ubuntu 22.04, for some reason, the box is not automatically checked. If you check this box, you will be able to import just fine.

When the box is unchecked, which seems to be the default on Ubuntu 22.04 for some reason, then the scene collection is not actually selected for importing.

The checkbox is not automatically ticked on macOS either - so this looks more like a UX issue than a functional issue?

@RytoEX From what I could tell we only explicitly untick the box if the detected application (or "program" in the exported collection) resolves to an empty string. Otherwise the value is left to whatever it is set to when the object is initialised and whatever Qt might interpret it as.

obs-studio/UI/window-importer.cpp

entry.selected = false;

Huh. Nice find. I can try to take a look into that later this week, if I can carve out some time.
