Use default selection rule from profile

Is there a way get MakeMKV to always use the default selection rule in my custom conversion profile and ignore the setting in preferences?
I don't see the point in having those settings in the conversion profile if the setting in preferences is always going to override them. I can't turn off expert mode to accomplish this because I still need to be able to select my custom conversion profile.

Leave the default selection rule in preferences empty. Then the rule from the conversion profile(s) should be used.

I tried that, but it automatically put the text back in as soon as I clicked Apply or OK. It doesn't stick if you try to leave it empty.

Just don't use $app_DefaultSelectionString . The value of $app_DefaultSelectionString is what is being overwritten from preferences. You can always add additional tokens as in
Code: Select all
<output outputSettingsName="xxx" defaultSelection="$app_DefaultSelectionString,+all">
Or you can get rid of $app_DefaultSelectionString completely as in
Code: Select all
<output outputSettingsName="xxx" defaultSelection="+all">

Interesting, I'll give that a try.
I'm curious about that "+all" part, does that cause all tracks to be selected upon opening a disc? I'm thinking I'd want to change it to "-all" so that all tracks would be deselected and then I would only need to select the one main movie track.

So I've cleared Preferences > Advanced > Default selection rule and selected my profile.xml which contains this line:
-sel:all,+sel:(deu|eng|nolang),-sel:(core),-5:(forced*(eng)),-10:(deu),-15:(forced*(deu))
However, when I start MakeMKV, the box isn't empty anymore but reads
-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:(havemulti|havecore),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang
which, as you wrote above, would overwrite the selection rule from my profile.xml?

Yes, but what you see and what you're editing is the value of
$app_DefaultSelectionString variable. By default this variable is referenced by profile, but you are free to ignore it in your profile.
