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.
