Forced subtitles are still a bothering something if you don't know where they hide from you.
Also after 'Locate all subtitles' I sometimes still don't know which of those streams of my language (for instance 3 streams: 0x21, 0x24 and 0x27) I have to use, sometimes I have to press 'show next' up to 4 times to be more or less sure.
Sure, there are not that much movies using forced subtitles, but if they are used it's always an exertion.
Forced subtitles are implemented in D2S not that long (since sept 03 as I know).
Here's my idea to handle those ones a bit more pleasant:
After selecting some streams (D2S has to give the possibility to select several subtitles; for instance those 3 ones in my language), D2S scans those selected streams for forced subtitles - sure this may take some time - and will count the number of forced subtitles. This number will be shown and maybe (next additional feature) you will be able to view those forced subtitles, just to make a decision if more than one stream includes forced subtitles.
Then select the stream of your choice, still the ol' game.
Sure I can use subrip, but that's a big way around, takes too much time.
I didn't drop a line via email because maybe I have missed sth. somebody will tell me about.
