mkvtoolnix-gui - a GUI for mkvmerge(1) including a chapter and a header editor

mkvtoolnix-gui(1) is a Qt based GUI for mkvmerge(1). It also implements mkvinfo(1)'s and mkvpropedit(1)'s
       functionality and will evolve to cover mkvextract(1) as well. All settings (e.g. source files, track
       options etc) can be saved and restored.

       Listing configuration file names with the extension .mtxcfg causes the GUI to load the those
       configuration files in the appropriate tool. Any other file name is added as a source file for
       multiplexing, opened in the info tool, the chapter editor or in the header editor depending on the
       current mode. The current mode can be changed with --merge, --info, --edit-chapters or --edit-headers.
       The default mode is adding files for multiplexing.

       Note that if an instance of the application is already running when the application is started a second
       time, all file names given on the command line are handled by the already-running instance.

       --merge
           All following file names will be added as source files to the current multiplex job. This is the
           default mode.

       --info
           All following file names will be opened in the info tool.

           Additionally the info tool will be selected on startup instead of the multiplexer tool.

       --edit-chapters
           All following file names will be opened in the chapter editor.

           Additionally the chapter editor will be selected on startup instead of the multiplexer tool.

       --edit-headers
           All following file names will be opened in the header editor.

           Additionally the header editor will be selected on startup instead of the multiplexer tool.

       -h, --help
           Show usage information and exit.

       -V, --version
           Show version information and exit.
