Description Don Giovanni 2013-10-14 23:53:09 UTC
Greetings and thank you very much for creating freeware.

Just a sugestion:

I use gnome-subtitles and it would be excellent if the program automatically highlights subtitles whose timings are overlaping.

00:01:12.700 -> 00:01:13.800 Hello!
00:01:13.401 -> 00:01:14.500 World!

The end time of "Hello" overlaps the initial time of "World!".
It would be nice if cases like this appear wraped in a red rectangle, for example (or something else that would point out the error).

Another nice feature would be to have a button whose function is to correct these situations. It should average the overlapping times, round to an integer of milliseconds and replace the timings adding 1ms to the 2nd subtitle:

average between 00:01:13.800 and 00:01:13.401 = 00:01:13.6005
round to integer = 00:01:13.600
replacing the 1st subtitle                = 00:01:12.700 -> 00:01:13.600 Hello!
replace and adding 1 to the 2nd subtittle = 00:01:13.601 -> 00:01:14.500 World!

It would be very helpful.
Kind regards,
Nuno
Comment 1 Don Giovanni 2013-10-15 00:02:33 UTC
Actually, it would be awesome if gnome-subtitles asked the user how to correct overlapping times:
a) keeping the 1st subtitle and changing the 2nd
b) changing the 1st subtitle and keeping the 2nd
c) average feature (as described above).

The outcomes would be:
a)
00:01:12.700 -> 00:01:13.800 Hello!
00:01:13.801 -> 00:01:14.500 World!

b)
00:01:12.700 -> 00:01:13.400 Hello!
00:01:13.401 -> 00:01:14.500 World!

c)
00:01:12.700 -> 00:01:13.600 Hello!
00:01:13.601 -> 00:01:14.500 World!

Regards!

Hi Don.

Part of the feature you mention (detecting errors and providing a way to fix them) is described in bug #439832. Automatically highlighting errors would be interesting too, marking this bug as New.

Cheers
