Error message

subtitle_save error surfaced to user via err() (localized toast)

What it means

The Tauri backend command `subtitle_save` failed while persisting subtitle cues to the path chosen via saveAs. The component intentionally rethrows the backend error to the user via the shared err() helper, which shows a localized toast instead of a success message.

Solutions

1. Check the toast/backend message for the concrete cause (path vs format vs serialization)
2. Verify the target directory is writable and the path is valid for the OS
3. Confirm the format value matches a backend-supported subtitle format
4. Retry the save with a different location/filename

Example fix

// before
catch (e) {
  err(e);
}
// after
catch (e) {
  err(e);
  showToast("error", $t("downloads.sw.save_failed_hint") as string);
  console.warn("subtitle_save failed", e);
}

if (!path || typeof path !== "string" || path.trim() === "") return;
if (!cues?.length) return;

function isValidPath(p: unknown): p is string {
  return typeof p === "string" && p.trim().length > 0;
}

try {
  await invoke("subtitle_save", { path, cues, format });
  showToast("success", $t("downloads.sw.saved") as string);
} catch (e) {
  const msg = typeof e === "string" ? e : (e as Error)?.message ?? String(e);
  err(msg);
  showToast("error", $t("downloads.sw.save_failed") as string);
}

When it happens

Trigger: invoke("subtitle_save", { path, cues, format }) rejects: unwritable/invalid path, unsupported format string, backend serialization failure on cues, or filesystem permission errors on save.

Common situations: Saving to a read-only or cloud-synced directory, invalid characters in filename, backend command renamed/changed signature after an app update, or cues containing data the serializer cannot encode.
