GUI request

[JeffreyHuber]

Great tool. But a simple, but very useful, feature to add would be some buttons for control of the selection tree.
For example:
'expand all'
'collapse all'
'unselect all subtitles'
...etc.

Perhaps make a guess at the main movie with a "select main movie".

Would make the GUI a lot friendlier.
By the way. I'm using the linux version so maybe that exists in the other versions.
Thanks,
Jeff

No, that doesn't exist on other versions. I like this idea as well, especially a 'check all' or 'uncheck all' feature. Would definitely save time.

Right clicking offers the option to select or unselect all, but it's not recursive.

A collapse and expand all would be fab!

Its now recursive since 1.8.0

Thanks admin for the recursive de-select in 1.8.0! MakeMKV keeps on getting better.

One trick OP might not have found is in Preferences set preferred language to English. This causes only English audio and subtitles to be selected by default, which should be only 1 or 2, 3 tops.

This is super helpful (<1.8.0) for European blurays where there are literally 20+ subtitles!


Also, One way to allow only main title is set the min length to be about 1200 seconds or 20min. I recon pretty much all movies and TV shows have to be at least as much.

This filters out a lot of unnecessary features, behind the scenes etc.


One more suggestion to Admin is to select TrueHD or Master Audio by default. If we are using MakeMKV it means we care about quality ONLY (since its 1:1 remux) and NOT size per say. So I'm sure all users would rather have lossless audios rather than a Core 5.1 compressed audio. (I know Bluray standard says so but almost all bluray titles these days have either TrueHD or DD MA). The extra 3Mbps is almost neglegible in a 30Mbps bluray title and most receivers and software these days can either decode HD audios natively or have ability to downmix on the fly. (i.e. XBMC 12 (native HD) vs XMBC 11 (Downmix)

Thanks for implementing the new features! I like the updated UI as well. More pleasant on the eyes.

I also second the idea for lossless by default... or simply more default options. Would save me an awful lot of clicking.

As would the use of conversion profiles.

I use the * key to expand all, and setting the language automatically selects the correct audio + subs.
