I haven’t implemented everything I wanted to in this new version, but I’d say 80% of the stuff is there.
Because I didn’t hit the mark on what I wanted to do with this release, the reason it’s coming early is that there have been a couple big bugs that make usability hard for some folks. Both bugs were pretty nasty too. The first would mess up special characters if the file encodings were different and the second would simply refuse to convert a file if the the subtitle line was only a number!
This release marks a move away from the Visual Studio installer. While it made installing it easier, I felt like it hid too much, so for the time being new versions are only going to be straight up binaries and source. You will need to check back here for updates at least for one more release when I implement a update checker!
Change log
- Fixed bug for special characters that would be lost in conversion from ASCII to UTF8.
- Added util.GetFileEncoding to guess the original file encoding and convert as needed. (Copied from https://www.americanparanoia.com/Weblog/posts/197245.aspx)
- Added an image to spice up the about page.
- Changed the name to Subvert
- Changed srt2dfxp_gui namespace to org.josherickson.subvert.
- Changed name to Subvert to reflect the subtitle/closed caption conversion focus.
- Finished the basis of a plugin system. At the moment, nothing has changed for the end user.
- All conversion is done now by ISubvertImport and ISubvertExport based classes.
- This will significatly improve speed of future file conversion code.
- Fixed bug where if an entire subtitle line was numbers, it would fail.
- Note to self, probably should add some additional checks to the Subrip parser.
