[Feature Request] Auto checkmark biggest track with favourite language

Many Blu-Ray discs contain one relevant movie track. Then its much bigger than the rest for example 30 GB vs 300 MB. In such cases MakeMKV should auto-select this track.

Then sometimes we have multiple tracks with a big size, but we can not rely on the size only. But in many of those cases the favourite language is missing in the audio track list. This means MakeMKV needs a setting as follows:
[ ] Checkmark only the biggest track and those that are [ ] percent smaller
[ ] If multiple tracks have been checkmarked, uncheck those that do not contain [ ] language audio track(s)
This would help in apprx 90% of all Blu-Ray Movies to select the correct track. In all other situations it should checkmark nothing.

P.S. This idea should only auto set checkmarks and not totally skip crawling tracks like its done through minimum title length. By that the user is still able to compare the results or check bonus tracks as he wish.

Minimum title length (seconds) on the Preferences->Video page does what you propose, as far as setting a minimum size.

This covers only the first part of the idea. The more interesting thing is to let MakeMKV decide which of the multiple movie tracks is the correct one. Example (only the checkmarked track contains a german audio track):

P.S. I changed the idea as follows so it would be much more flexible:
[ ] Select only the biggest track and those that are [ ] percent smaller
This means:
- check which is the biggest track: e.g. 30 GB
- check which tracks are e.g. 10% smaller
- all tracks from 27 up to 30 GB are checkmarked

P.P.S MakeMKV should not skip those titles while crawling the disc. Minimum title length acts as usual. This idea should only set the checkmarks.
