New version 1.7.0 is out, fixing the issue with the mkvinfo gui popup with the new MKVToolNix version v9.0.0, and adding an option for not showing the success popup messagebox.

Download link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gmk....0.7z/download

Changelog:
  • Add support for the new --no-gui parameter of mkvinfo for MKVToolNix v9.0.0 and newer, without breaking compatibility with older MKVToolnix versions
  • Add option to not show the success popup messagebox
  • Add setting for showing or not the success popup messagebox

This is an issue because of a change in MKVToolNix's v9.0.0 default behavior for mkvinfo. It's fixed in new version (v1.7.0)

I couldn't disagree more with this. In fact I get really frustrated when applications use this design, since most of the time I don't sit in front of the application's status bar, waiting for it to get to 100%, but I do other stuff, expecting a signal from the app that the process is finished.
However, since it wasn't difficult to implement, I added an option for changing the default behavior in the new version (v1.7.0), so I am waiting for feedback!


Enjoy people!
