Description Dick Tracey 2023-09-24 22:38:05 UTC

SUMMARY
***
Currently, when you click on Add External Subtitle, the file selector starts at your home directory, which is almost never what users want, and doesn't match the behavior of the more popular/main stream players.
The file selector should instead start at the directory which contains the video, because that's where the subtitles would like be around.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click Subtitles > Add External Subtitle
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
File selector starts from home

EXPECTED RESULT
File selector starts from the directory containing the currently played video

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 george fb 2023-10-18 21:18:40 UTC

It already does that.

Comment 2 Dick Tracey 2023-10-25 17:09:36 UTC

No, it doesn't. Whenever you start a new instance of haruna, the Add Subtitle dialog starts at user's home directory.

Using 0.12.1 on Arch Linux.
