Description Denis Jasselette 2009-12-29 21:11:00 UTC
There should be some way to save the subtitles we have just downloaded. Here are some of the arguments I could think of:

1. It's boring to have to search the same subtitles as we are watching some video several times.
2. I usually share my videos with other people not necessarily using totem. Not having a copy of the subtitles force them to search the painful way.
3. I use to correct subtitles whenever I spot unbearable mistakes.

Adds a button to choose the location where the subtitles are downloaded

I'm not used to submitting patches so it may not be correctly done.

A button is added in the search window, it's labeled "Save and play". It opens a file-chooser window, saves the file to the selected location and then plays the video with the subtitles (just like the other button).
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2010-01-06 11:35:05 UTC
The subtitles are automatically downloaded (and saved), and potentially reused (if you have Totem set to auto-load subtitles) in ~/.cache/totem/subtitles/

It should probably be documented somewhere.

    Mention where subtitles are downloaded in docs
    
    Add the location where the opensubtitles plugin saves its subtitles,
    in case people want access to those.
