--write-sub behavior when using --get-* (simulate) #3036

Thanks for the report, it will be fixed in the next version. |

This fix has made it into youtube-dl 2014.10.26. Refer to our FAQ if you need help updating. |
Consider the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRS8MkLhQmM as an example.
The former command will not download the subtitles, the latter command will download the subtitles and print the URL. I would have expected neither of them to download the subtitles.
youtube-dl --helpsuggests that the--get-*options in the Verbosity / Simulation section imply--simulate, but this is not the case. I am not sure if this is expected behavior.
