Positioning of secondary subtitle

[noelcm]

I can locate the position of the primary subtitle correctly, but cannot "auto position" the secondary subtitle. The menu does not give the same options. Is there a workaround?

OK there is no workaround. Is it possible this shortcoming can be rectified in a future version of BS player.

The reason is that I am preparing subtitles in two languages (english and thai). I need to show both languages at the same time.

The primary subtitle can be adjusted to the bottom of the screen, but the secondary crosses the screen about one third of the way down from the top and is a minor interference. Any ideas would be welcome.

Unfortunately you don't mention what version/build of BS.Player you're using, so I can only tell you that I'm using 2.43 now and for both the primary as well as the secondary subtitles (both .srt type) I can position the subs, either "auto" or manually (=custom):
(rightclick >) Subtitles > Primary/Secondary > Subtitle properties > Auto_position/Custom_position

Thank you for responding
I am using the same version 2.43
The menu for the secondary subs does not give the same options as for the primary subs
The primary has a move up and move down option
That is not available in the secondary
I can adjust the position of the secondary, but it is line by line, and for 1500 lines its just not possible
Could you tell me how you adjust the position of the secondary subtitle without the move up and down options, this would be a big help

As already indicated in my previous post I can position the subs, either "auto" or manually (=custom):
(rightclick >) Subtitles > Primary/Secondary > Subtitle properties > Auto_position/Custom_position
Did you try "Custom position" already? It allows you to move the subtitles to the position you want (using your mouse pointer).

Hi BSPeter. Thank you for your time and trouble
I have followed the procedure you described exactly. When I click on "custom" I get a yellow "sample sub" at the bottom of the screen (superimposed on the primary subtitle). But when I place the mouse pointer on the yellow sub and click and hold to move it both subtitles go out (disappear) until I release the (left) mouse button.
I don't think it is supposed to work like this

When you click on "custom" the sample sub is immediately "attached" to your mousepointer; you then simply move it to where you want it shown on screen and only then (not before) you (left)click to position the sub.
