DESCRIPTION

16       mkvtoolnix-gui(1) is a Qt(TM) based GUI for mkvmerge(1). It also
17       implements mkvinfo(1)'s and mkvpropedit(1)'s functionality and will
18       evolve to cover mkvextract(1) as well. All settings (e.g. source files,
19       track options etc) can be saved and restored.
20
21       Listing configuration file names with the extension .mtxcfg causes the
22       GUI to load the those configuration files in the appropriate tool. Any
23       other file name is added as a source file for multiplexing, opened in
24       the info tool, the chapter editor or in the header editor depending on
25       the current mode. The current mode can be changed with --merge, --info,
26       --edit-chapters or --edit-headers. The default mode is adding files for
27       multiplexing.
28
29       Note that if an instance of the application is already running when the
30       application is started a second time, all file names given on the
31       command line are handled by the already-running instance.
32
33       --merge
34           All following file names will be added as source files to the
35           current multiplex job. This is the default mode.
36
37       --info
38           All following file names will be opened in the info tool.
39
40           Additionally the info tool will be selected on startup instead of
41           the multiplexer tool.
42
43       --edit-chapters
44           All following file names will be opened in the chapter editor.
45
46           Additionally the chapter editor will be selected on startup instead
47           of the multiplexer tool.
48
49       --edit-headers
50           All following file names will be opened in the header editor.
51
52           Additionally the header editor will be selected on startup instead
53           of the multiplexer tool.
