Soft subtitles are not taken by the snapshot feature
As of the VLC 3.0.0 update, soft subtitles are no longer being taken by VLC's Take Snapshot feature. There is, as far as I know, no longer any possible way to capture soft subtitles with a snapshot.
This behavior should be changed considering you could already (before VLC 3.0.0) just simply disable subtitles and take a snapshot. To force soft subtitles off for snapshots without any way to capture soft subtitles like in previous VLC versions gives the user less options and is not intuitive.
I suggest two possible ways this could be improved:
-
Revert the "Take Snapshot" to its previous behavior and add a "Take Snapshot (without subtitles)" option. Or the other way around by adding a "Take Snapshot (with subtitles)" option.
-
Add a checkbox option under Subtitles in the Preferences: "Display soft subtitles when taking a snapshot" or something to that effect.
