Whisper Engine Switch Issue

[LeonCheung]

Today I accidentally switched the whisper engine to another one that I never used before, and then I closed the window. However, when I enter the menu next time, it shows this:

I just found that's no way to bypass this, because I don't want to download it (and it does fail when I'm trying to download it for some connection issue), so I clicked No or Cancel, but nothing happened, which means I cannot open the menu and use other engine(s) either.

@Viotemis Thanks, buddy! The fact is that I cannot bypass this window. (well, just found a way to bypass it but a bit tricky) And, from my previous experience, I cannot use it with my processor model.

I believe the thing that determines this in settings.xml is <WhisperChoice>Const-me</WhisperChoice> (that's what it's set to for me). You can try changing it from whisper.cpp to something else, though I don't know how to easily find the list of possible values. I'd just change it to Const-me since that should only be a small download. In case that fails, I'm attaching the contents of my SubtitleEdit/Whisper/Cpp folder, which, if extracted there, should allow you to open the Whisper dialog without that prompt. Cpp.zip
