    Qt5 does not recognize the references to Windows 11 and as a result the GUI fails to compile. The CLI programs are not affected. This release has that commit reversed. All other features and fixes are up to date.
    1) :goodpost: and THANKS! (again)

    2) surely it is time for someone (not yourself, evidently) to create a NON-qt mkvtoolnix GUI for Windows...

    the dot-NET fanboys should accept the challenge

    But if the non-official GUI was written in Java 😈, it could be used by the Linux & Mac OS minorities as well 😏 😇

    Thanks autodidact for the prompt delivery...

    Tested the 32-bit version under Win7 on a Lenovo T530 notebook, it works fine, but the new qt version is a real step backwards. The settings window is hardly scalable vertically, the position sliders are poorly visible, overall it looks much worse than the previous version. This is nothing anyone can blame autodidact for, but the constant quest for newer and better is really backfiring here. After some serious testing I went back to the previous version 75.0.


    I think that Mosu did a sloppy job with this release, hoping for future releases...

    Cheers

    I reversed one commit that was preventing compilation but it looks like this earlier commit began the transition to more fully rely on Qt6 for GUI cosmetics on Windows.

    https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/-/commit/7f2e0378d855541f09d44cbfd2f97d2349b9cf18

    That includes changing the style from "Windows Vista" to Qt's "Fusion" style. I don't think Mosu is concerned about how this affects Qt5 builds or behavior on Windows 7, unfortunately. It certainly lends weight to El Heggunte's argument.

  5. autodidact, can you please add or modify something in the version string to differentiate it from the one of the official release ? I would like to be able to check if a valid version for the current OS is installed from my program BD3D2MK3D, and currently, there is no easy way to do it. Thanks.

    Not sure if this is useful , but...

    menu Help --> System information --> Qt

    Non-official build says: "Version: 5.15.8".

    The Qt version would be the ideal way to differentiate between official and non-official. Depending on how you are comparing, that information may not be readily accessible. Adding NON-OFFICIAL to the version name could be a simple solution and doesn't trigger mismatch version warnings from the GUI:

    Code:
    >mkvmerge.exe -V
    mkvmerge v76.0.34 ('Celebration NON-OFFICIAL') 64-bit
    If no objections are raised and if no better suggestion is offered, this could be implemented.

    @El Heggunte: Thanks for your suggestion, but I need to check the version from the command line. autodidact's modification will be perfect.

    I DID NOT say and I DID NOT mean you should use mkvtoolnix-gui for checking which version of Qt was used by the compiler.⬇️

    The problem of course is, professional computer programming REALLY makes people somewhat narrow-minded, sadly.😔

    Well, if anyone still had any doubts about Mosu becoming less of a Matroska developer and much-more of a Qt poster boy...

    Here is release version 77.0.

    Notes:
    Added 'NON-OFFICIAL' to the version name.

    Changed the "Fusion" style back to the "windowsvista" style. The Dark Color Palette in Preferences will not work properly in this case. The executable from the alternative_GUI archive is built with the "Fusion" style and the Dark Color Palette works with it. This should be a one-time arrangement to determine the preferred style for next release.

    The author has moved a qt_resources file out of the mkvtoolnix-gui executable and into the data folder. If you selectively extract from the release archive and intend to use the GUI, please make sure to select the data folder.

    Thanks Autodidact for this new version...

    Works nicely, and the old Windows style looks SO much nicer than the latest and greatest "Fusion" style. Tested a couple of conversions (32-bit only), as usual they came out perfectly...

    Is it possible to have a github of your modified version ? Or the source code ?

    Edit:
    Or can you make a PR for the roll back of old style on the Windows7 branch here ?

    Hi jpsdr. Nice to see you are building mkvtoolnix!

    Since the last release I have discovered that you don't even have to change the source code to use the "windowsvista" style. You can set the QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE environment variable to "windowsvista" on your system and achieve the same result. This works on Linux and Windows, at least with Qt5 builds.

    To build it as default, here is the very minor change to the source code at src/mkvtoolnix-gui/mkvtoolnix_gui.cpp line 52:

    Code:
    QApplication::setStyle(Q("windowsvista"));

    How did you change the name with "non-official" ? I didn't find where it's hidden.

    That is changed at src/common/version.cpp line 29:
    Code:
    constexpr auto VERSIONNAME = "Elemental NON-OFFICIAL";

    Ok, i've build, everything is fine, Vista style and all, except... one very little thing.
    On my build, i don't have anymore the full version (77.0.12), just 77.0...

    Usualy, i cloned the Mosu Gitlab repo, did the specific modifications "on the fly", build, and i had the total full version information. After, for next build, i either stash and pull, or delete and re-clone the whole directory. So, each time, i had to redo the specific modifications "on the fly". Even if very small, it was a little borring...
    As i'm not a Linux guy, i don't realy know how to manage git on Linux, it's a loooot easy for me under Windows with tortoise git and the tools i'm used to.

    This is why i decided to create my own github, can manage it on my PC with Windows, and now, instead of cloning Mosu Gitlab, i clone my Github and switch to my specific branch.
    Everything worked fine except this little things of version. I expected the version in the gui being displayed at 77.0.12, but instead it says 77.0.

    Not critical, but if someone has any idea why.
    My github, of course, i build the Windows7 branch.

    Your repo doesn't seem to have the requisite revision information that the build files use to generate the version string. It falls back to the built-in version as you have seen.

    For example, this is what I get from my clone of Mosu's repo:
    Code:
    >git describe
    release-77.0-19-g51f650418
    I guess you could force it by editing the version in the build-config file before compiling.

    Ah... Does it mean that when i cloned his repo on my PC, i lost the tags ?
    Or when i pushed... ... ... F**k!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot that i had to "PUSH TAGS" !
    Thanks...

    EDIT
    Humm... I've redone the same thing, and now understand the message of Tortoise Git asking me if i want to disable TAG fetching on the new remote i created...
    Maybe i said "yes" last time... This can also explain...

    EDIT2
    I think i've fixed, but i'll have a version number higher than Mosu, as it counts commit, so instead of 77.0.19 i have 77.0.26.
    Anyway, it's still better.
