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

SYNOPSIS
       mkvtoolnix-gui [[configuration-file-name.mtxcfg] | [source-file.ext] |
                      [--info [matroska-file.mkv]] |
                      [--edit-chapters [chapter-file.ext]] |
                      [--edit-headers [matroska-file.mkv]]]

DESCRIPTION
       mkvtoolnix-gui(1) is a Qt(TM) 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
