Preview subtitles?

Would it be possible to have an option to preview subtitles in a future version, or is that technically impossible?

There's a lot that can be done technically, but my guess is, Mike has other priorities when people can preview the subs in any media player already.

Thanks for confirming this. But is there an alternate way of doing this? I mean the closest as it can get to previewing subtitles?

+1 for bdsup2sub. If I'm not sure which subtitles I need then I rip them all, extract them all in one command with eac3to and then load them into bdsup2sub to work out which ones I did/didn't need. Then I can go back to MakeMKV if I still have it open and deselect the ones I don't want and rip again, or reprocess the file through mkvtoolnix or MakeMKV to remove the unnecessary subs.

It sounds like a lot of hassle but I've got it down to a pretty efficient workflow now.
