When downloading a youtube video with no subtitles except the autogenerated subtitle.
The GUI Subtitle Control was hided and I cannot download the autogenerated YouTube subtitle.

for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk1GK_hWuGE

Although I can download the autogenerated YouTube subtitle using config.txt in yt-dlp-gui.

--write-subs --write-auto-subs -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -o "subtitle:%(title)s.%(ext)s"

I still wish you could add an option in the Subtitle Control to download the autogenerated YouTube subtitle.
thanks a lot.

Thank you for using my GUI.

In fact, my GUI has never included automatic subtitles. In the information obtained from yt-dlp, automatic subtitles and normal subtitles are in different sections, so even if the control panel is not hidden, automatic subtitles cannot be downloaded. This is mainly because my GUI has never fetched this data.

With the current version, I think it is more convenient to set up several commonly used configuration files for switching.

Regarding automatic subtitles, it was also mentioned in #72, and I provided a more detailed explanation there. Currently, there are only preliminary ideas for implementing this feature, and I am not sure when it can be implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
