GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 710150
Automaticaly highlight subtitles with overlaping timings and correct it
Last modified: 2018-09-21 16:16:31 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
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
