Gaupol is a simple GTK+ based sub title editor. It provides multiple subtitle file format support and offers a way of creating subtitles as well as editing the subtitles. The application works with multiple files at the same time and has a feature to convert multiple files into one large file without the use of additional tools. The interface is designed in a user friendly manner, and the user can even edit their own data and images. Gaupol also includes an application manager, which is useful for the management of various types of applications on the system.
The main applications are divided into several sub-functions, with different functions. Subtitles are the most common feature and have a simple list with the latest changes being highlighted. In addition, there are sub-functions to apply the default font style and color of the application. There are also other useful features like the ability to view all sub-functions at once or a scrolling menu. An advanced function is the ability to create custom menus for particular sub-functions.
When using the application, the first step is to install it. To do this, one must follow the instructions in the Gaupol application page. From here, it is possible to configure the settings in Gaupol. However, many users find this task tedious and choose to install the application to the desktop, so that they are not distracted with the different settings and options. The installation process is easy and is similar to installing any other application on the computer. Once installed, it should be possible to edit and create subtitles with a single mouse click. Subtitles are available in Windows Media Player, WMA, Mpls, AVI, Mpeg, and AVI.
