Gnome Subtitles 1.0

20 February, 2010 - 14:33 — noup

I'm very pleased to announce the immediate availability of Gnome Subtitles 1.0. This release is the result of all development effort carried on till now, into a stable release. Besides the stabilization effort, this release delivers the following features:

  • Added drag-and-drop support for loading subtitle and video files
  • Allow to set new options in the preferences:
    • Whether to save the translation when saving subtitles
    • Default and fallback character codings for opening files
    • Default subtitle format, character coding and newline type for saving files
    • Allow to remember the last used settings
  • Fixed a timings synchronization issue when "Sync All Subtitles" was used
  • Activating (double-clicking) a sync point in the synchronization dialog now selects the corresponding subtitle and seeks the video to its position

Other features include:

  • Allow to edit spinbutton's time text up to millisecond precision
  • Wrap the subtitle text to fit the video area
  • Changed the default newline type to Windows (CR+LF) to improve compatibility with other platforms (including external video players)
  • Fixed support for video filenames with special characters
  • Fixed bug with the title bar showing the previously loaded file
  • Fixed bug with the timings "seek to" dialog not reflecting timing mode changes
  • Fixed use of LDADD when building
  • Use libtool to produce shared libraries
