Subtitleedit: [Bug] Column paste time codes not working

Created on 10 Nov 2018  路  12Comments  路  Source: SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit

when pasting using column paste, even if "All" is selected, it only pastes the text.

I agree. I would even say it should maintain the timecodes even if there is overlap, since it was the user's choice to paste the subtitles there.
Before I knew to watch out for this, I would sometimes copy ~800 subtitles and try to paste them into a different file, and SE would essentially be unresponsive as it was retiming each individual subtitle, which would take a good chunk of time. One way around this is to paste in source view, but I don't always remember to do that.

Yep. Working great. <3

On another matter related to this, when you copy some lines from another file and paste them in the new file, why does SE change the time codes and adds them right after the selected line?
Shouldn't it maintain the time codes if there was not overlap?

I've tried to update the pasting to keep time codes if possible - how does it work: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.5.7/SubtitleEditBeta.zip ?

So now if you paste at proper time location, it keeps the time code, else, it adds a certain gap.
I find it good. 馃憤
Thanks. :D

@darnn Check this so I can close it.

I haven't looked into the retiming thoroughly, if it's still going on, but as far as I can tell, there's no longer a noticeable delay even when pasting thousands of subtitles, so I'm happy. You can close it as far as I'm concerned.

Cool.

@niksedk I just noticed that after pasting the focus stays on the current line and doesn't move to the pasted line as it used to, can it be as it was?

Also, it used to paste the pasted line right after the current with the addition of min. gap between subtitle, now if you aren't pasting it in its time location, it adds 2100 ms instead of min. gap.
Can it be as it was? so the only change would be that it maintains the time codes if you're pasting it in its proper time location, else, it would add min. gap a min. gap and always move the focus to the newly pasted line.

OK, all selected lines, like this: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.5.7/SubtitleEditBeta.zip

Or only first new line?

@niksedk Yep. Just like this, that's what it used to do and no one complained. :D
Now just the gap thing when you copy it a different time location, if you can..
It used to be min. gap, now it's 2100 ms for some reason.
