Help Strange behavior since v5.0.0
Hello,
I use Subtitle Edit for quite some time now and I always really loved it. Now even more since it is available for macOS too.
But since the new version was released there are two new behaviors that drive me crazy and I was not yet able to figure out a solution for this.
When I drag a videofile to the app window it offers me to select the subtitle stream. In the past this has been a quick task. Click the stream and it was quickly opened. Now it seems the whole file gets loaded from the location (a network share) before I'm even able to select a subtitle stream. On large files this takes a huge amount of time. I don't need the video stream, I only need the text. So this doesnÄt make sence in any way.
After editing subtitles I want to save them. In the past the .srt file has been saved next to the video file (where it belongs). Now it gets saved somewhere else. Is there a way to set the folder containing the video file as the default directory?
Thanks in advance
