Subtitleedit: Release 3.5.8

[niksedk]

I guess it's really time for a new release mostly due to GT and Tesseract4... but the change log also contains many other nice stuff: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/master/Changelog.txt

TODO:

• [x] Test Tesseract OCR
• [x] Test Translate
• [x] Test "Batch convert"
• [x] Test spell check
• [x] General testing + (fixing bugs)

If you know any issue that should be included please do let us know :)

I have a handful of old ones that still persist in the current version, if you'd like to take a look at them:

Subtitle Edit 3.5.8 is Subtitle Edit 3.5.7 build 174

[niksedk]

@wintermuts: Was that a question? The beta version says 3.5.7 build

GT without Edge requirement for windows 7 users.

this is more for the section of plug-ins, but here is my request.

Also, instead of opening a new issue, here is another minor bug I just noticed:
After adding a bunch of lines and deleting them:

https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/issues/675

just mentioning this, as per every release, so you can ignore it once again.

[marb99]

@niksedk see here #3239

[OmrSi]

@niksedk I hope you have the chance to add "remove Unicode control char" option to the edit list as it exists in Batch convert.
And check https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/issues/3198 again
And https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/issues/2917 is closed, noticed it while searching for something.

[niksedk]

@OmrSi: Does the spell check still prompt for hidden character / strange char?

[OmrSi]

Sorry, I didn't test before scratching. It still requires a skip all...
This is u202B

[niksedk]

@OmrSi: Could you attach a subtitle with this spell check issue?

[OmrSi]

All files here, https://subscene.com/subtitles/fuller-house-fourth-season/arabic/1898379
I tried it with English, It didn't cause a problem, but in Arabic files, it does after using Reverse with Unicode control char method.

[niksedk]

@OmrSi: thx :)

Fixed. 👍👍

After bilingual splitting, the number duplicated:

Now I know why I got #3171

[LeonCheung]

3158 If this is a corner case, I'll close it for good. :)

[LeonCheung]

For the latest "Split at end chars" feature in "Import plain text" module, I think it works fine with half-width punctuations, but failed with full-width ones, such as:
，。！？、：；…
They are all needed to be set as end chars. And, if possible, pls consider adding a "Remove end chars" toggle, which is quite useful for languages like CJK, which don't use them in subs in many cases. Thx!

[niksedk]

@LeonCheung: The "split at end chars" works fine with e.g. "…" for me and it's also a checkbox, so it's possibly to toggle. (I've added renumbering after bilangual split)

[LeonCheung]

@niksedk I think I know why. It works fine if I manually add an extra space character after them. Hmm, I think that's the rule for English, maybe to avoid digits like "1.23" or "9,454,231" right? However you know for us we don't use that extra space in our writing forms.

[LeonCheung]

full_width_end_chars_test.txt
A test file here, which contained all the punctuations mentioned above.

(PS: Since I don't want to auto split, I used a very large value for "Max. number of lines" value, which I hope won't affect anything here.)

[niksedk]

Beta updated: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.5.7/SubtitleEditBeta.zip
Fixed renumber after bilingual splitting + text in import plain text + some plain text fixes + some spell check fixes... hopefully very close the 3.5.8 final - so please do run it a bit :)

[OmrSi]

Awesome.
Just a couple of things, You started working on this, If it's too hard, it's not pressing https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/issues/3075
Also, If this is normal or too hard to fix, either close or leave for later https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/issues/3201

The last thing, this is more of a question, I added ، \b\w+\b to the do-not-break-after list, but when I test it on this:
ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها، ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها.
it gives me this:

ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها، ها
ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها.

While it should be like this:

ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها،
ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها ها.

I want it to not break after one word of a comma.
Which leads me to this minor, after adding or removing to the list, language selection is grayed out.

[darnn]

Could you see about using "a.m."/"e.g." in the no break after list? https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/issues/3230
Also, I've added several entries to my file, is there any way to upload it here and merge it with the default file (provided you approve them all)?

EDL Export - Option to have single lines placed on top line.

When creating subtitles I always stick to two line pairs like so:

When exporting subitles to EDL, single lines are always placed on the bottom-most line like so:

I have not been able to find a way around this (I've dug through all the settings with no luck and tried simply placing a blank line below the single line but blank lines are automatically removed).

It would be incredibly helpful and appreciated if there could be a option to place these single lines on the top line or to disable the automatic removal of blank lines.

Thanks!

@LeonCheung: The "split at end chars" works fine with e.g. "…" for me and it's also a checkbox, so it's possibly to toggle. (I've added renumbering after bilangual split)

Very nice improvement. Just, for the checkbox, I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, I mean something like the GIF below:

@niksedk Question, I've set Alt + R as a shortcut for reversing punctuation for RTL, and Alt + OemQuestion for adding music symbols, when I focus on the text box and use Alt + R, the alt's work is done, so it doesn't select the "File" menu, but when I use Alt + OemQuestion, the "File" menu from the menu bar is selected, is this a bug?

[diomed]

thanks for not including new icon once again. it would really be a drag to change anything to something new.

[niksedk]

@diomed: Sorry, my time is limited and requests seem not to be

[OmrSi]

Thank you for all your efforts. 😄😃
