Display time code in SRT files using the SubRip File Type

Question

Is there any way to configure the SubRip File Type extension to not strip out timecodes from SRT files? These can often be helpful in assessing how long each subtitle can be. Thank you in advance!

Hi Johanna Elf 
 A very old post I know, but I thought I'd update it since we now have video preview capability in Studio through a plugin and also support for more source types. 
 We released the plugins and a TQA model for this yesterday. You can find them all on the appstore here: 
 https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studio-subtitling/978/ https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/webvtt-filetype/979/ https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sbv-filetype/980/ https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/stl-filetype/981/ https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/tqa-far-methodology/983/ 
 There's also a WIKI here for more details on the way it works:

Hi Johanna, 
 This is actually part of the core product now and isn't an appstore filetype anymore. On your question, I think the only configurable capability is these four things: 
 
 change the filetype extension 
 set the line length limit and specify when lines should break 
 create/edit/delete regex rules for handling embedded content in the translatable text 
 create custom quick inserts 
 
 The timecodes are stripped in the underlying code for the filetype, so this would have to be an enhancement request that Patrik Mazanek might be able to answer... perhaps? 
 Regards 
 Paul

You can use the preview - there you can see the times. Patrik
