Codec Tweak Tool bugs / usability issues

Hi. I have been lately using K-Lite pack and I want to give feedback / improvement suggestions for it. Here is what I have observed:


- SERIOUS UI BUG in Codec Tweak tool. If you press ANY button in the UI, the UI moves the window to center of the screen (Windows 11, 2023 or later, 2 monitors, Intel UHD Graphics 730). Expected behaviour is that the window does not move but stays where it is.



- DirectShow (x86), DirectShow (x64), ACM/VFW (x86), ACM/VFW (x64) windows have large usability issues and is very confusing to see which is enabled or disabled. They should be same style as "Thumbnails" window so that you see enabled status from checkmark inside a box. Also filters could be rather grouped like this:

SPLITTERS
LAV Splitter lavsplitter.ax K-Lite
MP4 Splitter splitter.ax Haali
Matroska Splitter splitter.ax Haali

VIDEO
LAV Video Decoder lavvideo.ax K-Lite

AUDIO
LAV Audio Decoder lavaudio.ax K-Lite
Microsoft G.711 decoder g711codc.ax Windows

RENDERERS
MCP Video Renderer mcpvideorenderer.ax K-Lite
Haali video dxr.dll Haali

SUBTITLES
DirectVobSub vsfilter.dll K-Lite





- it would make sense to have Preferred decoders button under Preferred splitters button

- it would make sense to have Various Tweaks button close to MS Codec Tweaks button. Last button line could be: Media Foundation, Various Tweaks, MS Codec Tweaks

- second last line could be: Thumbnails, Thumbnail Options, File associations. Thumbnail options is important and should be accessible directly from main UI (IMO)



Thank you.

There will be no changes.

Filter state is not just enabled/disabled, there also is a broken state.
