Unfortunately assigning more hotkeys isn't as easy as one might hope. Currently, access keys are only available for the top three options (Mux this track, Track name, Language). I am just wondering is it possible to assign all the properties options with access keys (the underlined letters)? That would make jumping betweeen options even faster. With the old mmg, I had to switch between tabs to set different options. Particularly for it showing the properties on the right side as a single scrollable widget. See also this related wiki article () about 'The job queue, statuses and their actions'. Otherwise you'll find the corresponding option in the main job queue menu. It's easy enough to remember: do you want to manipulate the currently selected job(s)? Then use the context menu. On the other hand the context menu option 'Start jobs automatically' sets the status of all selected jobs to 'start automatically' no matter what their current status is (which means that you can use this option to re-enable particular jobs that have already been completed). Whether or not they're selected doesn't matter. The ones in the context menu operate on the ones that are selected when you open the context menu.įor example, the context menu option 'Remove jobs' removes then ones that are currently selected whereas the main menu option 'Remove completed jobs' removes all jobs that have been completed regardless of their current selection status.Īnother example: 'Start pending jobs' from the main job queue menu sets all jobs to 'start automatically' that are currently in state 'start manually'. The options in the menu on the top are the ones that operate on the whole queue. There are no duplicates, even if some of the options look similar. Is there a setting to make both menus show the same, combined content? Some are exclusive to each menu, some appear in both. In the job cue some menu items are available over the 'Job queue' menu on top and some over the right-click context menu. The new GUI uses a different storage format with different keys and values. Is it correct that the new MKVToolNix GUI can not open these anymore? Either press Return twice or Shift-Return once both will result in what you want to achieve. This causes the GUI to select the next chapter entry no matter where the focus currently is and to keep the focus in the same field.Īnd that's your answer. However, in this mode you can also press Shift-Return. If the focus is already on the name field then the next chapter entry is selected and that entry's timestamp field is focussed. It defaults to supporting the second kind of workflow: when you press enter you move from the timestamp field to the name field. On the other hand other people prefer to generate chapters once and then they want to tweak each entry (requiring to change both the timestamp and the name, then go to the next chapter entry, rinse & repeat).

Often you generate a lot of chapters first (or import them from a DVD) and adjust all their timestamps or names in one go (sounds like what you're trying to do). Different people prefer different workflows.
