Description Yann Basly 2007-12-20 12:53:10 UTC 
Hi,

It would be nice to have the ability to set a default setting for the subtitle format, the character coding and the newline type in the preference window.

In order to have my subs working with my dvd player I always have to set the encoding to iso-8859-15, and the newline type to 'windows' (yes I know...).

Thank you !

Hi,

Thank you for the report.

I agree with this, there should be a way to set this in the preferences.

Additionally, as reported in http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=7597002, there should be an option "remember last used" which would allow to remember the last used setting.
Comment 4 Pedro Castro 2009-09-05 19:20:55 UTC 
It should also be useful to have an option for the fallback encoding. This would be used when auto-detection fails (example of greek encoding windows-1253).

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release.
