Wel, I have the help of ChatGPT or Copilot which helps me a lot. I'm not a programmer but I took over the project when my father died. 6.3.4 is the last version of my father. I'm trying to address weak point in subtitle workshop, such as: allowing positioning tags (that why the dragging failed in your case, it was a side effect) updated the translation pipe line solves several problems related to linux/wine printing of subtitles I'm currently working on two things: solving another linux/wineproblem...

Thank you for your prompt reply. The video renderer is VLC. Disabling the "Keep subtitle on video" option does not fix the issue. Resetting the subtitle to its default position at the bottom solves the issue, but if you later drag the subtitle to a different position, it snaps back to the top and the problem reoccurs. The test version completely solves the problem: the subtitle appears in the correct position (bottom) and can be freely moved to any point on the preview screen. Thank you very much...
-
It was a problem purely related to codecs. Here is a test version. It's possible you see things like: "debug.txt" and information written into it. It's also possible you can encounter difficulties when changes video renderer. Don't consider the version as the final version but a version to check if your specific problem has been solved. I'm currently trying to fix a pesky problem under linux/wine concerning VLC. Just replace the attachment with the installed version.

Position tags ({\an8}) are stripped when saving SRT files (v6.3.8)

Thank you for reporting a bug. Could you verify the following, please? In the menu: Movie -> video renderer. Does it say: VLC or Default or VMR9? Please try the following in the menu: settings -> settings -> video preview -> subtitles -> uncheck "keep subtitle on video". Restart subtitle workshop. Try again. Right click on the video playing and choose: "Reset subtitle vertical position". If it doesn't work, let me know. Please let me know fi this solutions helps you. If it doesn't help, please share...

I am using Windows 10 and have noticed a problem with the preview window. In version 6.3.8, the subtitles are placed at the top of the preview screen, and it seems impossible to place them at the bottom as in version 6.3.7. I can drag the subtitle while paused, but it jumps immediately to the top. Can you help me?
-
I believe it's a way to circumvent the tags that don't belong there. Subtitle Workshop tries to do it the correct way: when an improper tag is found, delete it before it causes trouble.

Using \an8 (or any \anX) tags in srt will literally show "\an8" on the screen of the video player when using srt. Actually, most modern video players handle \anX tags in SRT files correctly and don’t display the tag on screen. Players like VLC, MPC-HC, PotPlayer, mpv and many others have supported them for years without showing the raw tag.
-
Understood. I get the compatibility concerns. In that case I’ll just stick with version 6.3.7, which still handles the tags the way I need. Thanks for the explanation.
-
I have to consider problems that arise from including \anX tags in srt files. such as: literally displaying "\anX" on televisions that follow normal srt specifications or getting confused with ass tags. If you want to use \anX or \pos, use the proper format. That is ass. If you want to use position, line and align, use the proper format. That is WebVTT. If you want to use a srt-like format with positioning, I suggest giving WebVTT a shot. Unfortunately there is no one format that fits all.
-
Thank you for your reply. I understand that {\anX} tags are not part of the official SRT specification. However, they were fully supported in Subtitle Workshop up to version 6.3.7 (correct top positioning, without the tag appearing on screen). This behavior only changed in 6.3.8. I personally prefer to keep working with SRT rather than ASS, as it’s the format I use most of the time. Would it be possible to restore support for {\anX} tags in SRT files, as it used to work before? Thanks in advance...
-
That's normal behavior. \an8 tags aren't in the srt specifications. Use the ass format which does have support for \anX tags. Using \an8 (or any \anX) tags in srt will literally show "\an8" on the screen of the video player when using srt.

Sounds normal to me. If the computer crashes while the program is open and you just made changes without closing the program, you can expect to lose any changes you made. I am assuming that previously you had opened and closed the program more than once already when the computer crashed. Under those circumstances, the program would be saved.

Use a profile. It saves all settings and it also has the benefit of being transportable to other computers. Or just use the backup ini you have made. If you don't use backups, you seriously should considering using backups.

I've lost all the settings I made in SW 6.3.7, which took me hours, due to computer crashes. When crashes happens (p.e., the desktop is turned off due to a power outage -- no nobrek --, with SW running), the SubtitleWorkshop.ini file simply reverts to its initial state and all settings are lost. I'm running Windows 10 W20H2 (Build 19042) version and this did not happen with SW version 6.3.4.

It should be resolved in version 6.3.7.

Does this help for you. Some files are no longer relevant. Anything Vosk related. It was an left over from an experiment for Speech To Text.

@Kamaleon Can I help yoiu to improve Inno Setup installer script? Could you please include .iss file into the source archive? Thanks..
-
It's just better compatibility with Wine. It works when you install VLC 32 bit for windows and change the renderer through subtitle workshop. That's how I do it. If you get an error, please share.

Wait, we are now getting Linux support through Wine? NICE! Last time I tried getting it working under Wine years ago, I've failed spectacularly.

2026-09-21 (v6.3.7) Solved a print problem regarding font size change The Print function now displays the visible columns by default. Solved a problem during quitting Linux/Wine. Improved subtitle rendering detection under Linux/Wine. Changed the behavior of the delete button, it now supports the deletion of translation or original text only. Fixed a problem with Undo Delete. Solved a problem concerning the selection of text and combination of e.g. ALt-144. Combine subtitles with Translation is now...

It works like a charm. Thank you very much for the VERY quick response.

Someone already reported this and the solution. See https://sourceforge.net/p/subtitle-workshop-classic/discussion/general/thread/39d4798c7d Double messages are also very annoying, everytime. ;)

Thank you very much for fixing the bug I reported. Everything is working properly again!

Try this version. Use Alt-144 on the Numpad, which is located on the right side of the keyboard. Let me know what you think. It has the latest goodies but isn't finished: Solved a problem concerning the selection of text and combination of e.g. ALt-144 Auto combine subtitles WIP Combine subtitles with Translation is now possible.

Hi, When trying to replace an uppercase letter with an accented uppercase letter using the Alt key combination (e.g. Alt + 144 for É, Alt + 183 for À, etc.), the original uppercase letter is not replaced. The accented uppercase letter is inserted next to the existing letter instead of overwriting it. Could you please fix it?

Hello. I'm also using the portable version which has a folder called Bin that has also a SubtitleWorkshop.exe and a lot of of similar folders to the root folders, but version is 6.3.5. Should I keep that folder? delete?

Don't mention it. If there is something that can be better, don't hesitate to post a message under "bug reports" or "feature requests".
-
Thanks a lot! The annoying bug I reported has been fixed, and everything is working properly again. I really appreciate the quick response and the update.
-
Try this version. Just copy it over the other file in the installation directory of Subtitle Workshop. It has the lastest goodies: * Convert Case in conjuction with Translation is now possible * Search option of "From the first subtitle" is remembered
-
Thanks for reporting. I'll look into your problems. Workaround for now: If you can get passed “LIB VLC installationpath not found”, change the video renderer. In the menu -> video -> video renderer. If that doesn't help: install VLC 32 bit. Change the video renderer back. Uninstall VLC 32 if you wish too. Or change "Use VLC=1" to "use VLC=0" in the file SubtitleWorkshop.ini in the install directory of subtitle workshop.

Thanks for the update! I would like to report two issues with Subtitle Workshop. New issue (since the latest update) Since the most recent update, every time I launch the program I get the following error message: “LIB VLC installationpath not found” Existing issue (not related to the latest version) When I search for a letter or a word that is actually present in the subtitles, the option “From the first subtitle” is systematically unchecked. Could you please look into these problems? Thank you...

The result can be very disappointing. VOSK and other speech to text engines don't know when a sentence begins and ends. You have to build an algoritme for it and "guess" when a sentence begins/ends.
-
If you want to save something fast, use the shortcuts such as Ctrl-S (save original file), Shift-Alt-P (safe project). If you don't like those shortcuts, try the Shortcut Editor. Hit "Settings" in the menu and then "Edit Shortcuts"

Here is a new version of debug program. Let me know if it solves your case convert problem. It also has the latest goodies.

I don't use any of the stuff that the other fellow was complaining about so I am not aware of any problems it caused. I downloaded the debug version and installed it and one of the first subtitles I came across was in all caps... The entire subtitle. When I used control Plus shift plus c to convert the case it crashed. I tried it repeatedly and it crashed every time. I then replaced the original version 435 and it worked. I downloaded the one you sent me but I haven't come across a subtitle suitable...
-
Could you please elaborate what you were doing with case conversion( control + shift + c)? Was waveform active for example? Were you doing something else? More information is needed to fix your problem.
-
Hi guys, While I don't have any of the issues that you are working on with this debug version, I get the emails and have been reading them. Just FYI: this debug version fails in case conversion( control + shift + c). Brings up an exception.

It's because the video renderer needs time to sync up. When you press the buttons very fast, the video can't catch up and the result you have noticed. There are better ways to solve this problem: settings -> settings -> video preview -> change Backward en Forward time. Or try to pause the movie and then press the forward/backward button. Alternatively you can use in the Menu -> Search -> Go To Movie position. It will remember the movie position if you have entered it before. If you really mean the...

Thank you for your comments as they are useful. I'll try to work on them when I have time.

If you install VLC 32 bit (it needs to be 32 bit), Subtitle Workshop can use VLC instead of codecs. In Subtitle Workshop, in the Menu -> Video -> Video Renderer -> VLC.

Subtitle Workshop 6.3.5 Excellent work. A huge improvement compared to 6.3.4. However, the interaction between SW and the Waveform window still does not work completely optimally. When I delete subtitles in SW while the Waveform window is open, instead of leaving an empty space in Waveform, the following subtitles in Waveform move into the position of the deleted subtitle. It is necessary to close and reopen the Waveform window. If you continue working without doing so, an Access violation error...

In SW 6.3.5, subtitles appear delayed during playback, and the delay is irregular—sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. I've tried both .mkv and .avi files; .mkv files have more issues. (When playing back in the Waveform window, (or in VLC player), the subtitles are synchronized with audio.)

I'll include shortcuts that can be altered through the shortcut editor. You can use the shortcuts to save everything. It can be configured through the shortcut editor.

Trying to continue my fathers work. 6.3.6 will be a big update when it comes to the translation mode. You'll able to add a new subtitle to original and translation separately while the original mode is also maintained. Also deleting a subtitle from original or translation can be done separately. Also, the original mode can be maintained. Right now, it feels like magic. Right click in the translation or original subtitles and you'll be able to add a subtitle and remove it. Also multi selection will...
