Notes

gMKVExtractGUI now finally supports localization! 💪

These come as a separate set of json files, which need to exist in the same folder as the gMKVExtractGUI.exe, which are provided in a separate archive for every release from now on. 🙏

There is also a new Translations form, accessed via the Options form, where translators can edit existing translations or create new ones.

Since the locales provided here were created with the use of AI translation, they might contain inconsistencies, please feel free to open PRs with adjustments for your locales 🙏

The docs also provide extensive guides on how to use the new Translations form.

What's Changed

• fix(ui): Show "Extraction completed!" message in the segment info text box instead of the label status, to avoid visual clatter (thanks @dclxvplusone)
• feat(chapters): Add new PBF chapter type. It automatically transforms the default XML chapter type to the PBF chapter type. Comes with no guarantees, since documentation is basically non-existent.
• Reorganize and refactor various parts of the code. Switch to using Newtonsoft.Json via Nuget and update to latest version

Full Changelog: v2.9.1...v2.10.0

• fix(init): Revamped the init sequence for detecting the MKVToolnix path and added a new button to manually trigger the auto detect sequence. #2
• fix(logs): Fix various logs in FrmMain2 and gMKVHelper. #2

Notes:
The priority for setting the MKVToolnix path during the app init is now the following:

• Check for manual path set via cli arguments
• Search in the .ini file for the MKVToolnix path
• Search the current directory
• For Windows: search the registry for an MKVToolnix installation
• For Linux: seatch the usr/bin folder for MKVToolnix

Also, an "Auto Detect" button was detected, in order to easily reset the directory in case a manual override was added via the form.

• fix(progress): Update the task bar progress bar value based on the total progress and not on the individual job progress
• fix(code): Switch to unboxed types and minor optimizations.
• fix(gForm): Add the form handle in the remaining message boxes in gForm
• feat(dark): Implement Dark Mode in a new way with a bit of help from AI (thanks Jules!)
• fix(files): Fix file structure
• Create README.md

• fix(dark): Possible fix of a bug with ComboBox in dark mode (thanks vertigo220!)
