Position of the Subtitles

[InkubusDK]

Hi

First of all, an amazing app for learning languages. I love being able to see the meaning of a word without having to type it in the browser in another windows, the side panel with all the subtitles is amazing too.
My suggestion is about the position of the subtitles.
I'm used to watch them one at the bottom and the other at the top. . Currently I use the primary/secondary distance field but if I put the side padel it is out of balance. It would be nice to be able to attach the position of the subtitles independently. Perhaps a drop-down field subtitles position: together/ separately or maybe if the primary/secondary distance field was in % in instead of pixels.
For last I dont unrdestand what do subtitle alignment, maybe only affect a type of subtitle, i use embedded ones (txt)

Thanks

Hi @InkubusDK , I'm glad that you like it.

I'm used to watch them one at the bottom and the other at the top

Personally, I don't want to place a second subtitle on top because it requires a large eye movement between the bottom and top.
Therefore, I use a stacked format similar to Language Reactor.

It would be necessary to add a new independent placement mode to accommodate both, but unfortunately I don't want to do this because it would complicate the code quite a bit.
If there is demand for this, including from others, I would consider to implement it.

As you can see if you seek subtitles with the D button, it specifies which point is used as the basis for alignment when multiple lines of subtitles are displayed.

For example, if you want to always place the subtitle below the black background of the video, you can do so by setting it to Top.
On the other hand, if you want to place the subtitle above the black background, you can do so by setting it to Bottom.

Hi, thanks for the soon answer

You are right, for a new lenguage is the best option, in my case I use the second subtitles for spanish just in case but normally I don't need it, so I prefer it at the top for don't mess so much with the video.
But as yo say not a simple way to do it

For example, if you want to always place the subtitle below the black background of the video, you can do so by setting it to Top. On the other hand, if you want to place the subtitle above the black background, you can do so by setting it to Bottom.

Ok, it's alignment with the black background.

Again, nice and unique program

If you don't need it most of the time, you can use the key action to toggle the display of secondary subtitles only. (key action: ToggleSubtitlesVisibilitySecondary)

Or you can make the sidebar secondary.
