File Details – Statistics Tab

The tab Statistics contains useful file statistics such as creation and revision dates, various text counters, erroneous subtitles, the first and last subtitle cues and total subtitle, text and editing timings.

However the information in the File Details dialog is additional and not all file formats are supporting it. The file formats that support this information are: EZT, EBU (STL), 890. For instance if you intend to export to a PAC file, you don’t need to write all that info, because the PAC format does not support it. File formats that doesn't support file information are using a zero subtitle instead (see Zero Subtitle Edit).
