You mean for the normal mkv creation.
Ahh, I guess I have forgotten to ignore the chapters from the mpls input for the options.json file.
With the .mtxcfg file (create the MKV manually) the mpls-chapters are ignored(not used).

Have tried to open multiple OGM chapters and applied rename checking the 'all tabs'. Rename is ok but when saving with middle click, it doesn't.

Hmm, works fine here with local files in a folder on the desktop.

Try with these.

I used it many times, it's giving me a bad headache now.

EDIT: I downloaded a fresh clean version, deleted everything. It works now.

@hubblec4

Thanks for chapterEditor!
But, how do I save all the tabs to .xml in one go? Right now, I have to manually save each tab, one by one, and if there are dozens of them, it can be kinda boring and time-consuming.

[hubblec4]

Hi marooned2

Welcome to Doom9 forum.

With a middle click on the Save button, all tabs will be saved. You will find this info in the status bar of cE when the mouse is over the Save button.

[marooned2]

Thanks but it saves just one tab or none at all even though it says "Saving all tabs was successful".
Doesn't work even if I run chE as Admin.

[hubblec4]

OK, which chapter editor do you use? Matroska, OGG or multiAVCHD?

[marooned2]

Matroska, and I always save files to .xml (not xml + matroska files).
Can it be fixed by editing chE config file?

[hubblec4]

It works fine here.

See some posts above, tormento had the same problem.
Please try with a clean fresh install of cE.

[marooned2]

Well, no luck here even after starting chE from scratch. I even tried adding an exception in Avast but to no avail.
chE does batch-save cue files but can't save all tabs.

[hubblec4]

Very strange.
Can you try this test version, please?

What means "batch-save cue files"? (cE has no cue editor)

[marooned2]

The test version doesn't work either.

I meant Converter-->CueSheet.

[hubblec4]

I need more info about what you are doing.
What file do you load? Which format have the files?
Do you load a folder or multiple files?

Can you share with me some files?

[marooned2]

I load multiple files, all in txt format.
Here are the some examples in the attachment (currently pending approval)

[hubblec4]

Uploading here in this forum is not good. it takes toooooo much time for the approval.

OK, but I guess I see the issue.
You said you load .txt files:
You can only do a direct save when the files already in this format like the editor handles.

.txt files can not be saved as .xml files without an explicit new filename.

[marooned2]

So, how can I add "an explicit new filename" ?

A new file name is always re-entered through a save dialog.
Every program works in this way if the original format was not in the loaded file in the editor.

That's understandable because if cE simply overwrites this loaded file, the original content will be lost. In addition, the file extension is also incorrect.

Once you have loaded your file into the Matroska Chapter Editor and press the "Save" button, a save dialog will appear.
The next time you click on the “Save” button, it will be saved immediately.

The question I have is where do the chapter files come from?
Which program creates it and couldn't cE do it right away?

I also thought about it a long time ago whether it would make sense to allow/incorporate direct saving for "foreign" chapter formats.
The thing looks like this:
A new file name is needed.
We could now simply say: just swap the file extension. For your chapter files it would then be w21_02.xml.
The problem is, it can't be used that generally.
There are also chapter formats that are already stored in an XML structure, and therefore exchanging the file extension would no longer make sense.
