Aegisub Automation 4 branch build
Alpha-quality
Please install in a folder separate from your main Aegisub installation.
What works:
- UI-wise:
o Scanning the automation/autoload/ dir for scripts and loading them
o Rescanning said dir
o Macros not in right-click menu
o Reloading scripts on command
o Adding arbitrary other scripts to the local-scripts list (ie. bound to
subtitles rather than the application)
o Storing locally loaded scripts into subtiles on save
o Restoring locally loaded scripts from subtitle file on load
o Graceful recovery from (most) errors
o Scripts with errors are not retained, but marked as "has errors"
o Nice presentation of script debug-output
- Scripting-wise
o Global script info variables are read
o Macros:
# Registration function
# Processing function
# Validation function
# Config dialogs
o Export filters:
# Registration function
# Processing function
o Basic subtitle manipulation:
# Getting subtitle data from a line
# Storing subtitle data back into a line
# Appending lines to script
# Inserting lines at random positions in the script
# Deleting lines and (UNTESTED) ranges of lines
# All of the above needs more testing
o Setting undo-points
o Table of selected lines is correctly filled
o Parsing karaoke tags
o Modifying subtitles/setting undo points *should* be impossible in
Validation functions
o text_extents (currently identical to Auto3 version, meaning it also has
the same strange inaccuracies)
o include() function
o Making debug-output
What's broken:
- UI-wise:
o No support for right-click menu macros
o Macro appearance in menus doesn't look too nice (needs a separator before
the macros)
o All functions in the program (including stuff unrelated to Automation)
should mark what kind of operation is put into the undo/redo buffer, but
this seems to be lost somewhere and isn't properly displayed.
- Scripting-wise
o active_line parameter to macro validation and processing functions seems
to not be filled correctly
o Lua needs a string library for processing UTF-8 strings natively, as well
as a regex library for working with Unicode strings. Perhaps even
introduce a new userdata type for storing widestrings?
o Stored options for export script config dialogs aren't supported yet.
What's missing:
- UI wise:
o Apart from things relying on other Features being implemented in
scripting, nothing I can think of.
- Scripting-wise:
o Override (un)parsing of tags
o Subtitle Format reader/writer features
o File streams (required for subtitle format features)
Things to try:
- Test, test, TEST!
Write some scripts that do more or less useful things.
Try to break stuff.
Report bugs.
- Config dialogs definately need more testing, whether all controls
behave sensibly etc.
