Hmm, you are right, I never bothered to check it properly...

Well, I guess that's just a matter of opinion. I wanted to have all the options visible and accessible at one place, so that the user doesn't need to search for hidden options or menus.
I guess that may seem odd for more advanced users, but I believe from personal experience, that less experienced users prefer those kind of GUIs.

That's indeed a valid request! I will look into it!

Not that the existence of MKVCleaver should stop the development of any new extraction programs, but especially given it can batch extract, it's set a fairly high standard in terms of usability.
I wrote this program to be as simple as possible in terms of use. I always found MKVCleaver GUI to be a little awkward and preferred to use MKVExtractGUI, but since it had its flows, gMKVExtractGUI was born.
