Expected Behavior
It shouldn't crash.
Current Behavior
It crashes.
It also crashes on Ubuntu 24.04 but does not leave a crash report.
Steps to Reproduce
Procedure 1:
- (Delete all files under the Settings folder)
- Launch OBS
- "Cancel" the "Audo-Configuration Wizard"
- Select "Profile" -> "Rename..." from the menu
- Enter a new name and press "OK"
- Open "Settings"
Procedure 2:
- Launch OBS
- Select "Profile" -> "New..." from the menu
- Enter a name and press "OK" (Uncheck "Show auto-configuration wizard")
- Select "Profile" -> "Rename..." from the menu
- Enter a new name and press "OK"
- Open "Settings"
Anything else we should know?
Temporary workaround: After renaming, close OBS without opening Settings.
