Subtitles track naming

Postby anovy » 15 Feb 2011 14:07

Hi,
It would be great if the subtitle tracks in selection menu would be named along extension prefix, as you can see in VobSub. For example if the movie filename is XXX.avi and subtitle filenames are XXX.en.srt and XXX.de.srt, then the corresponding track names (or some track name suffix) should be 'en' and 'de'. Also it would be convenient to distinguish what subtitles are external and what embedded.

And another wish regarding subtitles: Move the Subtitles submenu from the Video submenu to the main level (as the Audio and Video submenus are).

I don't see the use case.

In the main menu? no, we already have too many of those.
Right-click, maybe, yes.

Sometimes happens that subtitles are twice - one external, one internal, so it would be nice to see in what group (external or internal) the subtitles are, so the user can quickly select the right one. It would be sufficient to only separate these groups by a line in menu.

Anyway this is not so important, much more important is the possibility to mark the external subtitles along the extension prefix.

Regarding subtitles submenu - yes, I mean the context (right-click) menu only.
