Custome file name [Filename] used alone does not work
ID: 1257Status: DuplicateVersion: 0.8.0.0Report Date: April 2, 2021Product:

Description

When trying to extract only an SRT file and using a custom filename as [Filename] you will get an error saying "Line 35404 in MKVCleaver.exe

Error: Subscript used a non-accessible variable."

I'm guessing the variable [Filename] isn't in context of the code somehow.

This sounds like a bug as it works nicely when using the build in "<filename>_Track#" option it will create my SRTs with the filename.

Also, when I create this custom filename I get a verification error of "Current filename configuration does not have a unique variale" (not that it is also misspelled in English but I don't care about that ;)).

My guess is that the above warning only gives me a warning that if I extract my SRTs from many files at one time the tool cannot guarantee unique filenames. No worries I get that.

    Hi Martin,

    Please check this bug report for a possible solution: Autoit Error

    The warning you get is to let you know that if you are extracting multiple files of the same type (in your case SRT files), then there is a possibility that the last extracted SRT track will overwrite all the previous one. This situation is rare. One example would be an MKV file with multiple SRT subtitles in different languages. In such a case the output filename would be the same and each subsequent SRT track would replace the previous one.

    I will fix all the typos I’m aware of in the next version. Thx for letting me know.

    Adding any combination of custom file naming gives an error about a subscript out of range including just [filename]

      Have you tried using the workaround I mentioned above ?
