MKV Cutter won't save the edit

[loninappleton]

I'm puzzled by how MKV Cutter is supposed to save my edit.
Have tried may times and something goes wrong where all that is created is a shortcut.

The problem is at the second screen where the Output and Temp tabs are at top.

No combination I've tried has given me a Save mkv file. The Temp folder stays empty.

While this should be a simple problem it has me stumped-- even with a little help file I made
long ago, nothing seems to save the file.

What I had was:

Click Output

The name the file at the new window

A Save button is in that window, so

Then there's something to do with the Temp Button in MKV Cutter which has
some function.

Please give the sequence to save the edit.

This is how one uses 'MKV Cutter': (or how the author envisioned one would use it)

1. Start MKV Cutter
2. Press 'Open Source' and select the .mkv file you want to cut.
3. MKV Cutter will now use MkvInfo, Mediainfo and h264_analyse to anaalyse the source will, once it's finished a new screen will show.
4. Here one selects the parts of the movie one wants to keep.
5. Go to a 'start-point' of a section you want to keep.
6. Press 'Cut-Start'
7. Go to the 'end-pont' of the current section you want to keep.
8. Press 'Cut-End'
9. The selected section should now be highlighted on the slider.
10. Press 'Add to Cut-List', so the selection section will be remebered.
11. Repeat step 5.-10. for all sections you want to keep.
12. Press 'Commit Cut-List' to finish the selection definition.
13. In the next view you set the 'Output' (File) and 'Temp folder'
14. Press 'Output' and set the name and location of the output file.
15. Press 'Temp folder' to set the folder that is used for temporal files.
16. Press 'Next' to start the actual processing.
17. Wait till 'MKVCutter' is done and the 'Finished!' popup appears.

The 'Save'-button allows one to optionally save a text file which contains the cuts.
(this is only useful if you have to make a lot of cuts and don't have the time to select all the cuts in one go)
