It does seem to load OK, it's just that some characters seem to be missing from the default font that ships with Silverlight (e.g. instead of the apostrophe chars used there one could use ' instead)

What language is it in?

Can you attach here screenshots of how it shows on your machine in ClipFlair Playground and how it shows in Notepad or Word?

Hi

It seems that there is no option to add a new line of subtitles once subtitles have been done. I.e.: if I do a subtitling task and then realize that I missed a line, is it possible to insert a new line?

Thanks
Laura

Another question. If I make subtitles editable, would the original activity be overwritten?
Thanks

Laura, the spam detection engine is too sensitive, I hope it is fixed soon.
As for your question "if I make subtitles editable, would the original activity be overwritten?"
Each activity has its own URL in the gallery (once George uploads it there)
The orignal activity can always be accessed by clicking its  URL.
Whatever changes the student does, s/he has to save them.
And then if s/he clicks again on the activity's URL, s/he sees the original activity.

George, I think the pesciolino subtitles did not import correctly in ClipFlair. Not a big problem, the missing characters can be manually corrected

The spam filter we use (Defensio) seems to need some training.

BTW, I think the [SPAM] banner shown surprises the user and we need some other banner that is more explanatory (that the admin will review their post).

When you press the 1st button at the captions component toolbar that creates a new caption, it will insert it at the correct place in the grid, based on the current time value

> Another question. If I make subtitles editable, would the original activity be overwritten?

what do you mean when you say make them editable? there's no property (yet, not sure if need to add such btw) to lock the captions column content at the Captions component. You just click once on the selected caption row (at the respective cell of the Caption column) to edit the caption content (or click twice if you want to edit another caption than the currently selected one).

Note that selection moves as time flows (when time goes at a position where there is no caption, the last caption remains selected to ease adjustment of its start/end times with the press of the set-caption-start and set-caption-end buttons at the toolbar of the Caption component [3d and 4th button from the left])

if you meant to say above "if I edit the subtitles", then if you don't save the activity onto the same file (if it was opened locally), the original will be unchanged. For activities fetched from the web, they obviously remain unchanged since we don't save-to-the-web (at least yet), we just load-from-the-web.
