Subtitle Workshop 6.0

What's new in this version:

GENERAL INTERFACE CHANGES:
- TOOLBAR added - (show/hide from "View: Toolbar"). Note that the "Undo" and "Redo" buttons offer a dropdown list with the last Undo/Redo actions, so you can Undo/Redo multiple actions at once.
- STATUSBAR added- (show/hide from "View: Statusbar"). Displays the current subtitles format and the number of the currently selected subtitle(s). Left mouse button click on the number centers the Subtitles List on the first (or only) selected subtitle. Right mouse button click on the number centers the Subtitles List on the last (or only) selected subtitle.

FULL TAGS SUPPORT MODE (Multiple Tags Mode) added - currently only for the SubRip, MicroDVD, and Sub Station Alpha formats. To enable it, select "Multiple tags mode" in "Settings: Settings: General". The subtitles in the Video Preview Panel are also properly formatted when using the Multiple Tags Mode. Tags that can be used while editing are:
- and - Bold text.
- and - Italic text.
- and - Underlined text.
- and - Text color.
- Always work with those tags in Subtitle Workshop. When saving the subtitle files, they are properly converted to the corresponding tags of the chosen format. Note that the MicroDVD format supports only tags for entire lines or subtitles, but not for separate words or characters.
- TEXT STYLE BARS added - (show/hide them from "View: Text style bars"). They consist of style tags buttons. They appear above the "Text" and "Translation" fields. They have similar behaviour to that of the Microsoft Word buttons.
- "PAUSE" editbox added - to display and set the pause between the current and the previous subtitle.
- "PAUSE" column added in the Subtitles List.
- "DURATION" column added in the Subtitles List.
- When you right-click the column titles ("Num", "Show", "Hide", "Text", "Translation", "Duration", or "Pause") of the Subtitles List, a new Subtitles List Header Context Menu pops up that allows you to show/hide the different columns.
- The columns positions are now automatically saved.
- When the "Text" and "Translation" columns positions are swapped, the "Text" and "Translation" fields are automatically swapped as well.
- When the "Show" column header in the Subtitles List is clicked, the "Sort" function ("Edit: Subtitles: Sort") is executed (subtitles are sorted by their Show Time).
- When the "Text" or "Translation" column header in the Subtitles List is clicked, the widths of the "Text" and "Translation" columns become equal.
- The values in the "Show", "Hide", "Duration", and "Pause" boxes can now be edited with the mouse scroll wheel, when you're inside those boxes. If you hold the CTRL key while scrolling, the decrease/increase value will be 10 times larger. If you hold the ALT key while scrolling, the decrease/increase value will be 2 times smaller. The increase/decrease step can be set in "Settings: Settings: General: Advanced". If you hold the SHIFT key while scrolling, the duration is not changed at all, but rather the subtitle is shifted in time (similar to using "Edit: Timings: Shift +N milliseconds" and "Edit: Timings: Shift -N milliseconds").
- When the mouse cursor is over one of the time boxes ("Show", "Hide", "Duration", or "Pause"), the corresponding time value can now be set by using the mouse scroll wheel, without entering (clicking in) the box. Subtitle Workshop indicates this by underlining the time value in the corresponding box. Using the CTRL and ALT, keys to modify the step, or the SHIFT key to shift the subtitle is possible.
- Pause, Show, Hide, and Duration values can now be changed in the Subtitles List with the mouse scroll wheel, when the corresponding cell is clicked and the left mouse button is held down while scrolling with the mouse scroll wheel. Using the CTRL and ALT, keys to modify the step is possible.

The following shortcuts are enabled for the Subtitles List:
- SHIFT + mouse scroll wheel - shift the currently selected subtitle(s) in time (like using "Edit: Timings: Set delay" for the selected subtitles, but easier).
- "S" + mouse scroll wheel - modify the Show Time of the currently selected subtitle(s).
- "D" (or "E") + mouse scroll wheel - modify the Hide Time of the currently selected subtitle(s).
- SAPCE - Mark or unmark the currently selected subtitle(s).
- "B" (or "O") - Set/unset Bold tag for the currently selected subtitle(s).
- "I" - Set/unset Italic tag for the currently selected subtitle(s).
- "U" - Set/unset Underline tag for the currently selected subtitle(s).
- "C" (or "Y") - Set/unset a Color tag (the last selected color in the color dialog) for the currently selected subtitle(s).
- BACKSPACE - Remove all tags for the currently selected subtitle(s).
- ENTER - Move the video to the Show Time of the focused subtitle. Also, start "in-place edition", if exactly one subtitle is selected and "in-place edition" is enabled. Also, save and exit "in-place edition".
- F2 - Start "in-place edition" / Save and exit "in-place edition".
- ESCAPE - Unselect all selected subtitles and leave only the focused subtitle selected. Or cancel edition in "in-place edition".
- LEFT/RIGHT - Change the focused column.
- PageUP/PageDOWN - Change the current subtitle in "in-place edition".

- When a subtitle with Bad Values is selected, it's duration is now displayed as 00:00:00,000 instead of 23:XX;XX,XXX.
- "OCR Scripts" checkbox added in the Left Panel for fast enabling/disabling of the OCR Script errors checking and fixing.
- "Notes" field added to the Left Panel of Subtitle Workshop (show/hide it from "View: Show notes in left panel"). The notes are global for the entire program and not dependant on the current subtitle file(s). Set the charset of the "Notes" field in "Settings: Settings: Charsets: Notes charset".
- Accurate charset conversion when using Paste operations.
- Select All, Cut, Copy, and Paste (and their shortcuts) now available for all textboxes, dropboxes, and other controls throughout Subtitle Workshop (e.g.: pressing CTRL+A ("Edit: Select all") in the "Text" or "Translation" fields selects the entire text in the filed now, not all subtitles in the Subtitles List).
- The width of the Time Controls Area and Text Controls Area can now be resized via a new horizontal splitter located between them.
- Four new time control buttons added in the Time Controls Area (show/hide from "View: Show time control buttons"). Each button has two functions - one when it's clicked with the left mouse button, and another when it's clicked with the right mouse button. The buttons' functions (their tooltips also indicate them) are as follows (left click function/right click function): "Move to Previous/Extend to Previous"; "Move to Next/Extend to Next"; "Set Default Pause/Set Default Pause, if Pause is too short"; "Set Auto Duration/Set Min Duration".
- Now, when no subtitles are selected in the Subtitles List, the "Show", "Hide", "Duration", and "Pause" boxes, the time control buttons, the "Text" and "Translation" fields, and the style tags buttons are disabled.
- Now, when two or more subtitles are selected in the Subtitles List, the values of the "Show", "Hide", "Duration", and "Pause" boxes are filled as follows: "Show" displays the Show Time of the first selected subtitle; "Hide" displays the Hide Time of the last selected subtitle; "Pause" displays the pause of the first selected subtitle; "Duration" displays the total duration of all subtitles (including the pauses between them).
- When two or more subtitles are selected in the Subtitles List, setting the same duration value for all selected subtitles by the "Duration" box is now possible.
- When two or more subtitles are selected in the Subtitles List, increasing/decreasing the duration of all selected subtitles is now possible by using the mouse scroll wheel on the "Duration" box. The same is also valid for the Show Time of all selected subtitles (using the "Show" box) and Hide Time of all selected subtitles (using the "Hide" box).
- When typing in the "Text" or "Translation" fields, one Undo entry is now added for an entire word, instead of for every single letter. However, if nothing is typed in for more than 2 seconds, a new Undo entry will be added the next time text is typed in.
- The program version number is displayed in the main window's caption.
- The taskbar caption of Subtitle Workshop now displays the name of the file first.
- Now, when a file is modified, that's indicated by an asterisk (*) in Subtitle Workshop's caption.

In Full Screen Mode, the mouse cursor automatically hides in a few seconds if not used. While in Full Screen Mode, the video control buttons are in a hidden bar on the bottom of the screen. Move the mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen to display them, and move it away to hide them again. The "Settings: Settings: Video preview: Subtitles: Relative font size" option is recommended for Full Screen Mode.

- "Invert selection" added.

"TIMINGS" MENU:

"Set duration limits...":
- A new option "Increase at start if necessary" added - if the desired duration is not achieved by increasing the Hide value of the subtitle, the Show value is decreased. The subtitle will show up earlier, but it will eventually have the desired duration.

"Set delay":
- Window modified - "+"/"-" dropdown box replaced with more convenient radio buttons. Mouse scroll wheel can be used to set the value. The PLUS and MINUS keys can be used to set "+"/"-".
- A new option "From first selected until last subtitle" added - applies the delay for all subtitles from the first selected subtitle until the last subtitle.
- "Extend length" renamed to "Extend length to next".
- "Extend length to previous" added - set the Start time of the current subtitle just after the End time of the previous one (similar to "Extend length").
- "Shift to next" added - shifts the selected subtitle(s) to the next subtitle.
- "Shift to previous" added - shifts the selected subtitle(s) to the previous subtitle.

"Automatic Durations":

"TEXTS" MENU:
- "Smart Line Adjust" added - works like the old "Smart Line Adjust" (now called "Fast smart line adjust"), but has some additional settings - it can break the text on dialogue dashes and punctuation marks ("Break on punctuation marks" method); it can be set not to unbreak subtitles with the "Don't unbreak subtitles that are not too long" option (e.g. this: "Hello.|How are you?" will NOT be changed to "Hello. How are you?"); it can be set not to modify normal subtitles with the "Adjust only long subs and subs with more than 2 lines" option (e.g. this: "What do you think|for my new lovely collection?" will NOT be changed to "What do you think for my|new lovely collection?"), which preserves the original look of those subtitles and doesn't break their readability. If the "Always try to find a better breaking point" option (for the "Break on punctuation marks" method) is checked, Subtitle Workshop will always try to find a better break point; if it's not checked - Subtitle Workshop will try to find a better break point only if the previous break point is not a punctuation mark already.
- "Unbreak subtitles" added - works like the old "Unbreak subtitles" (now called "Fast unbreak subtitles"), but has some additional settings - you can set a maximum line length ("Don't unbreak if line length exceeds"), and set it not to unbreak subtitles with dialogue ("Don't unbreak subtitles with "-" on second line").
- Old "Smart line adjust" renamed to "Fast smart line adjust".
- Old "Unbreak subtitles" renamed to "Fast unbreak subtitles".

"SUBTITLES" MENU:
- "Auto Combine Subtitles" added - a new function to automatically combine short subtitles. You can set which subtitles should be considered for combining by setting a maximum duration and a minimum CPS. The most important option is the "Punctuation marks detection" - when this option is turned on, the function will combine only lines of the same person (judging by the punctuation marks), so you won't have to add dialogue dashes afterwards. If you don't care whether the lines of different characters are divided by dialogue dashes or not (not recommended), turn it off.
- "Combine if duration is less than" - combine only subtitles that have a duration less than this value.
- "Combine if CPS is greater than" - combine only subtitles that have more CPS than this value.
- "Don't combine if pause is greater than" - don't combine two subtitles, if the pause between them is greater than this value.
- "Punctuation marks detection" - combine only lines of the same character (judging by the punctuation marks: e.g. if the first subtitle ends on a comma or on no punctuation mark, the second subtitle is a line of the same character; if the first subtitle ends on a dot, a question mark or an exclamation mark, the second subtitle MIGHT be a line of a different character, so the two subtitles won't be combined).
- "Combined subtitles maximum duration" - when the two subtitles are combined, the resulting subtitle's duration shouldn't exceed that value.
- "Decrease duration if necessary with no more than" - if the above value is exceeded, decrease the duration a bit (set how much with this value) and check again.
- "Combined subtitles maximum line length" - maximum line length of the combined subtitle.
- "Delete dots at the beginning" added - deletes dots in the beginning of every subtitle (unlike "Delete unnecessary links" it doesn't delete the dots in the end of the subtitles and doesn't consider them at all).
- "Delete unnecessary links":
- It now detects more dots types (not just three, but two or more than three dots), and also ignores spaces between them.
- "Jump to next marked" added - jump to the next marked subtitle.
- "Jump to previous marked" added - jump to the previous marked subtitle.
- "TOOLS: INFORMATION AND ERRORS" MENU:
- "Show CPS boxes" added - show/hide CPS Infoboxes for each subtitle. See the changes in "Tools: Information and errors: Settings: Advanced" for more information.
- "Jump to next error":
- It can now jump from the last error to the first.
- "Jump to previous error" added.
- "INFORMATION AND ERRORS..." WINDOW (extended with multiple new functions and indicators):
- The Info&Errors Window is no longer modal (can stay opened at all times). All the information in it is automatically refreshed when changes occur in the Main Window if the "Tools: Information and Errors: Settings: Automatically recheck errors" is checked (currently this slows down the speed of Subtitle Workshop a little bit, so only keep the "Information and Errors" window opened when really necessary).
- The Info&Errors Window can be resized now, and the Info&Errors List columns' widths resize automatically.
- The Info&Errors List can now be sorted by every column.
- The total number of errors and fixed errors are now in a separate label, always visible.
- New "E" (Errors), "W" (Warnings), "F" (Fixed), and "CI" (Custom info) buttons added - they show or hide the corresponding type of information in the Info&Errors List.
- New "" buttons added - they jump to the previous / next row in the Info&Errors List.
- New "Select" button added - selects all subtitles in the Main Window that are currently in the Info&Errors List.
- New "+ Select" button added - adds to the current selection in the Main Window all subtitles that are currently in the Info&Errors List.
- New "- Select" button added - removes from the current selection in the Main Window all subtitles that are currently in the Info&Errors List.
- New "Export to file" button added - exports the Info&Errors List content to a text file.

ERROR TYPES AREA (new area):
- This area can be shown/hidden with the new "Error types" button.
- This area contains a list of all error types and how many of each of them the current subtitle file contains.
- The checkbox in front of each error type will show/hide all instances of this error type in the Info&Errors List. The "All" button checks them all, the "None" button unchecks them all, and the "Inverse" button makes an inverse selection.
- The current state of the checkboxes can be saved in an Error Types Set under an assigned name. This way it is easy to switch between different sets of states. The desired name of the Error Types Set must be entered in the dropdown box and the ENTER key or the "Save error types set" button must be pressed to save an Error Types Set. An Error Types Set can be loaded by selecting it from the dropdown box. An Error Types Set can be deleted by loading it and then clicking on the "Delete error types set" button.

CUSTOM INFO AREA (new area):
- This area can be shown/hidden with the new "Custom info" button.
- Here, different specific rules can be set to look for certain subtitles. The subtitles that fit those rules will be displayed in the Info&Errors List as "Custom info" types of rows, and with a description containing the rule or the rule's caption.
- There are no Custom info fields at first. Add a new field with the "+" button or with its dropdown menu. The following Custom info rule types are available:

a) "Composite custom info" (default when you press the "+" button): look for subtitles that fit several rules simultaneously:
- When a "Composite custom info" is added, a new window - the Composite Custom Info Window - appears where all the Composite custom info's sub-rules can be set. Enter the name of the Composite custom info in the "Caption" field. With a Composite custom info, Subtitle Workshop can look for subtitles that fit several rules simultaneously. Those rules can be the same as the other Custom info rule types ("Duration", "Line length", "Line count", "Pause", "CPS", and "Text" - see their description below). Add new subrules with the "+" button.
- Example: To find all subtitles that have two lines and a duration less than 1.5 seconds, add a "Composite custom info" with the "+" button. Enter a name for this rule in the "Caption" field. Click on the "+" button in the Composite Custom Info Window below and add a "Subtitles duration information" subfield, and after its "" sign enter the number 1, after its "" - greater than, and "
