Running Linux OBS; PipeWire Window Capture sources always ask for permission on launch

For each source of type Window Capture (PipeWire) I have configured in a scene collection, one of these "Share Screen" prompts pops up, asking for permission to share an application's video with OBS. Checking "Remember this selection" has no effect on this behavior. Is there some way to automatically grant permission to share screen with OBS? It's cumbersome to essentially re-add the window capture every time I want to record. OBS v30.1.2 Fedora Linux 40 PipeWire 1.0.5-2

Sounds like an issue that you'd want to report in the OBS discord directly !obs

If you need direct support with OBS I recommend heading to the OBS Discord and posting your log file there, along with an exact description of your situation and problem. And a bit of patience. :) Thanks!
