Exporting srt files problem (re: #219)

Hi Damiano, thanks for your feedback regarding reported issue ~~#219~~. However, the Export feature does not seem to work for me. When I select New under File, then Import File, and then select Add All (Video Track, Sound Track, Subtitle Track), the Export option under File is greyed out (not selectable) when I have selected the subtitle track.

When I instead click the Add button in the Queue window and import the file that way, and then control click to select Edit, then the Export option under File is available -- but when I select it, the application crashes with the following report:

Hang on, I just tried a third way, and that worked! When I simply select Open under File, and then select the subtitle track and select Export -- it works fine!

Problem solved I guess :-), but you may perhaps still want to look into the other two faulty methods above (one of which crashes the application)?

Also, I read your comment on the other issue, regarding unnumbered srt files. I didn't know that they had to be numbered, so I understand if you don't see this as a problem. However, there are a lot of subtitle text files out there that for some reason do not include line numbers, just the time and the text. When I import these files into Subs Factory, it automatically numbers them (incrementally from the first and so one) -- but there is a bug in that application that then also truncates all time stamps to even seconds (i.e. puts ",000" after each second, instead of the original which may be something like ",372", required to be perfectly synchronized to the sound track)...

If you could allow Subler to be a bit more flexible in this way (i.e. allowing srt files without line numbers to be imported by automatically adding the required line numbers during the importing process), that would be absolutely awesome and remove lots of of extra work for me every time I encounter an incorrect srt file without line numbers! :-)

Thanks for your comments and consideration!
