or atleast w/ the filename in it. movist for example loads 'filename Eng'.srt.

You can try adding "-sub-fuzziness 1" (subtitles containing file name) or "-sub-fuzziness 2" (all subs in folder) to the advanced options.

I don't think loading all subs in the directory is a good default (I have folders with lots of videos and subtitle files). But I agree that more lenient matching would be useful.

I also agree that "-sub-fuzziness 1" is the best choice. Also I think that it would be good to make this value parameter in future builds.
Also I'd like to ask you to add "-subfont-text-scale 6" to default launch parameters - this should make .srt subtitles large enough (values from 5 to 8 seems to be good also).

ps thank you for your work.
