Exposing Selection Filters Aids and Multiple select tracks #27

Description

First of all - this is a really helpful piece of SW. Thanks for the great work.
As for the UX - IMHO there are some minor improvements that can really save time and clicks in some scenarios, especially with the track selection process.

SEE EDIT BELOW - SOME OF THE FILTERS EXISTS ON RIGHT CLICK

Issue:
Example : Lets say one have 15 *.MKV files, each with 3 Audio tracks and 20 and more Subtitles tracks - in that case selecting all of the needed tracks one by one becomes a rather tiresome clicking frenzy of hundreds of individual clicks by scrolling.

Proposed Solution:

Expose some of the existing selection filters for example:

  • Select / Deselect all [ tickbox ]
  • Select ONLY and ALL Subtitle / Audio / Video Track [ Dropdown ]
  • Selection Invert
  • Select By Filter
    This is most useful in use cases where one wants to extract multiple language tracks, Audio OR Subtitle ) but not necessarily all of them.
    For example, extract only tracks containing "Spanish" or " English" or " Chinese" in the name of the track, or multiple combinations thereof (e.g. I want "Spanish" audio and "Italian, English, English SHD, Chinese Traditional , Chinese Simplified, Polish".
    Obviously Other fileters or selection options can be proposed, those are just an example.

In my tests - Even Selecting +SHIFT or +CTRL did not work somehow.
Maybe I have missed something regarding this issue, If I did - than please let me know how to preform these actions.

[ EDIT ]
OK - I found that there ARE some filters in a right click menu. That is already great, and it works great also - even if a bit counterintuitive.
Exposing those filters IMHO would be a real help anyhow.
