I think it doesn't make sense to display any subitles when you have Enable subtitles disabled.
90% of XBMC users, one of the first things they do on a new installation is uncheck subtitles and set 'default for all videos'. I am talking about people who are not hearing impaired, native English speakers watching mostly English content. So they dont want full subs showing up for every movie they watch.
BUT they want forced subs to show without having to click any buttons. That is the whole point of forced subtitles.
This can be a movie with an English language audio track but some foreign dialogue (eg Bourne Identity) or a foreign (non-English) movie where they have set the main subtitle track to forced so XBMC always displays it for them.
Maybe there is some confusion between us due to the language barrier. This is the way it works currently. Is it going to still work like this with the planned changes?
