Enqueue multiple files fails to remember the subtitle track to include #667

Open Growlertiger opened 4 years ago

Growlertiger commented 4 years ago

If I have several files which are very similar, I can open one file, select the audio track and a subtitle track I want to burn in. All good. While that is running I enqueue the rest of the files. When I look at the outputs those files are missing the subtitle track. (But if I open one file at a time, it remembers correctly.) I think this has always been the case. I am running the current production version, not the beta.

What do you have on your Picker settings? That is what determines which subtitle and audio tracks get picked when you enqueue multiple files.

Subtitle selection is set to "Last selected". In this case each set of subtitles was the same. The first and second both show up as English, the second one is really English (Forced), the one I want. So the first file was set to subtitle 2. If I keep opening individual files, it does what it should and automatically selects subtitle 2 and also remembers that I want it burned in. But if I enqueue multiple files it doesn't include any subtitle tracks. I could try changing it to Index?

The "last selected" option only works when queuing multiple titles from the same source, or when loading up titles one by one. I didn't want it to have unintended consequences for people loading in a bunch of titles with different subtitle setups. Using one of the other options is a more sure bet; sounds like picking by index will work for you.

I'm curious to know what the definition of "multiple titles from the same source" is. I don't know how you could tell whether the source was the same (mine were all identical in structure and from one source). Perhaps it should say "Last selected - not for multiple enqueueing". However I am delighted you pointed me to the Picker settings and the Index option, which does exactly what I need. Many thanks for your wonderful program.

An example of multiple titles on the same source would be TV episodes on one DVD.

Thanks, glad you are finding it useful!
