Subtitleedit: Different values in subtitles gap

[m0ck69]

Hi.
Why does Subtitle Edit give different values for subtitle gap?
Let's consider a video with 23,976 FPS.

Once the program says that 2 frames gap equals 83 milliseconds:

but the second time it shows 84 milliseconds.

I know that the difference it extremely small but I still wonder about it.

I think it's beacause in "Apply minimum gap" the FPS is rounded up to 23,98 instead of 23,976.

Well, I'm not that knowledgeable about this stuff so maybe it's the way it should be.
Can you expalin that to me, please?

//edit
Or maybe to avoid confusion, instead of milliseconds SE should use frames as default like EZTitles

Well, that's because one frame in 23.976 is 41.7 milliseconds, which is rounded up to 42, while 2 frames are 83.4 which is rounded down to 83.

Ok, I get it. But look at the screenshots.
I just don't know why 2 frames are 83 millisecods in "Min. gap between subtitles in ms" and 84 milliseconds in "Apply minimum gap between subtitles". Shouldn't it be unified?

[OmrSi]

"Apply Min. Gap" uses the value you set as min. gap in the settings.
The label is there just to let you know what one frame equals in milliseconds.

OK, thx for the explanation.

Would this be better?

Would this be better?

Yes, much better, very clear and not confusing :)

@m0ck69 I added this in a pull request.
It should available in the next version/beta if @niksedk accepts and merges it.
