Wel, I have the help of ChatGPT or Copilot which helps me a lot. I'm not a programmer but I took over the project when my father died. 6.3.4 is the last version of my father. I'm trying to address weak point in subtitle workshop, such as: allowing positioning tags (that why the dragging failed in your case, it was a side effect) updated the translation pipe line solves several problems related to linux/wine printing of subtitles I'm currently working on two things: solving another linux/wineproblem...

It was a problem purely related to codecs. Here is a test version. It's possible you see things like: "debug.txt" and information written into it. It's also possible you can encounter difficulties when changes video renderer. Don't consider the version as the final version but a version to check if your specific problem has been solved. I'm currently trying to fix a pesky problem under linux/wine concerning VLC. Just replace the attachment with the installed version.

Position tags ({\an8}) are stripped when saving SRT files (v6.3.8)

Thank you for reporting a bug. Could you verify the following, please? In the menu: Movie -> video renderer. Does it say: VLC or Default or VMR9? Please try the following in the menu: settings -> settings -> video preview -> subtitles -> uncheck "keep subtitle on video". Restart subtitle workshop. Try again. Right click on the video playing and choose: "Reset subtitle vertical position". If it doesn't work, let me know. Please let me know fi this solutions helps you. If it doesn't help, please share...

I believe it's a way to circumvent the tags that don't belong there. Subtitle Workshop tries to do it the correct way: when an improper tag is found, delete it before it causes trouble.

I believe it's a way to circumvent the tags that don't belong there.

I have to consider problems that arise from including \anX tags in srt files. such as: literally displaying "\anX" on televisions that follow normal srt specifications or getting confused with ass tags. If you want to use \anX or \pos, use the proper format. That is ass. If you want to use position, line and align, use the proper format. That is WebVTT. If you want to use a srt-like format with positioning, I suggest giving WebVTT a shot. Unfortunately there is no one format that fits all.

That's normal behavior. \an8 tags aren't in the srt specifications. Use the ass format which does have support for \anX tags. Using \an8 (or any \anX) tags in srt will literally show "\an8" on the screen of the video player when using srt.
