Description
Greetings and thank you very much for creating freeware.
Just a sugestion:
I use gnome-subtitles and it would be excellent if the program automatically highlights subtitles whose timings are overlaping.
00:01:12.700 -> 00:01:13.800 Hello! 00:01:13.401 -> 00:01:14.500 World!
The end time of "Hello" overlaps the initial time of "World!". It would be nice if cases like this appear wraped in a red rectangle, for example (or something else that would point out the error).
Another nice feature would be to have a button whose function is to correct these situations. It should average the overlapping times, round to an integer of milliseconds and replace the timings adding 1ms to the 2nd subtitle:
average between 00:01:13.800 and 00:01:13.401 = 00:01:13.6005 round to integer = 00:01:13.600 replacing the 1st subtitle = 00:01:12.700 -> 00:01:13.600 Hello! replace and adding 1 to the 2nd subtittle = 00:01:13.601 -> 00:01:14.500 World!
It would be very helpful. Kind regards, Nuno
