#37 Any way to disable the "Clicking on start subtitle time creates new default-length subtitles" feature?
Due to https://sourceforge.net/p/subtitle-workshop-classic/tickets/36/ I have to click on the Start subtitle button multiple times, because pausing the video causes the entire GUI to become unresponsive and I need to be sure that it got clicked before clicking on the End subtitle button.
In the 6.2.14.4 version however, clicking the Start subtitle button multiple times starts making subtitles with default length. Leaving me to delete "surplus" subtitles when the GUI becomes responsive again.
Is there a checkbox to disable that feature? It might be really useful for some people, but until https://sourceforge.net/p/subtitle-workshop-classic/tickets/36/ is fixed, it screws up my workaround for that problem.
Indeed.
Not yet... Looking to add it.
The checkbox to enable/disable the feature will be available in version 6.3.1.

THANK YOU.
I trudged on making subtitles last weekend and it took me approximately one third longer due to this and one additional feature I didn't even know - if a "default length" subtitle is created this way, it forgets the start time. Clicking on the end time won't produce a custom length subtitle if a default length subtitle was created.
It was frustrating when I clicked on start time, deleted the surplus created "default length" subtitles, went to find the end time where the actual subtitle is meant to end, clicked on end time, and... nothing. Creating the "default length" subtitles "ate" the start time. Thus I had to figure out the start time all over again (ANGER), unless I still had those surplus subtitles, then I would just change their end time to current time.
Also this setting should be OFF by DEFAULT. In my entire life I have never seen a subtitle file made out of subtitles that had constant lengths. Either this is some really, REALLY fringe use-case scenario, or somebody is using an even weirder way to create subtitles (i.e. creates subtitles first, then sets their end times to set their length... which is counter-productive, but I won't judge more than I already do).
It will be default OFF.
Here is a testversion:
I wish it came with a test weekend. :D :D
I tested it last weekend... and then promptly forgot to respond. I hate my memory.
It seems to be working as intended.
Thanks. :-)
Implemented in v6.3.1.
