Why is the batch mode in console mode? Doesn't it make sense to have it integrated in the GUI?

Because I wanted to offer batch download also to non Windows users (for example Linux users on Mono framework).

Since SublightCmd is also standalone application (it can be downloaded directly from http://www.subtitles-on.net/Downloads/S ... Cmd.tar.gz) I decided that it would be interesting to implement this feature in SublightCmd rather than in Sublight.

When you click "Batch download..." button from Sublight this form opens:

As you can see form is really simple and just collects some parameters for SublightCmd (all fields are by default automatically preset).

When user clicks "Run SublightCmd" button form closes and SublightCmd application is launched (command from "Command preview:" is used).

I think this is easy even for less experienced users but at the same time it is also very powerful because it can be used on multiple platforms.



p.s. personally I think that batch download mode will be used only by advanced users

No, no. I'm not asking why the CLI doesn't have it. I'm asking why not make a GUI front-end for when it's run in the GUI.

What? What's the smile for? Is this a joke?

It doesn't look cool. Text terminals never look cool for unexperienced users. They look scary and unintelligible. They also look like crap when spawned from a GUI program.

That's not true. If I'm commenting about a program's functionality I don't let the morality of that program affect my opinion.

I will always have complaints about unnecessary smileys, though. Putting smileys in every sentence has the opposite effect to their intended effect, as it makes it confusing to figure out what tone the other is talking in.

As usual, take it however you want.

Any possibility to make use of multithreading while searching subtitles? It is quite annoying to wait for all the sources search one after another, especially if one or more sources timeout. It could be done in parallel to save time.

Otherwise, this is the best subtitle downloader there is. Keep up the good work.

@Jones-K

Thank you. Porting Sublight GUI on Linux has currently very low priority (unfortunately). Nevertheless, Sublight server API is available for other developers and they can implement their own clients (there is already Sublight plugin for XBMC which runs on Linux). Another alternative is SublightCmd which is CLI application (requires Mono framework).

@tukez

Good suggestion. I will seriously think about it.

I am already testing multithreaded search :)

In worst case scenario search takes 15 seconds for all subtitle sources.
