Make Options for "normal" users and for "expert" users, so that some options are hidden.

    If by "normal" users you mean idiots you are wasting your time- "normal" users/idiots never edit Cue sheets because they do not know what Cue sheets mean in the first place. For me it is meaningless to spend time and efforts to please hypothetical users which do not exist in reality.

    I am not an expert user because I am not a programmer but I have hundreds of CDs ripped into single lossless files (FLAC, Monkey's Audio, WavPack, etc) plus Cue sheets, I discovered your program today and will test it. I don't mind steep learning curve- for me the problem is not when a program is complex and powerful but when a program is so simple and deprived of options and customization that there is nothing to learn.

    Regards

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The idea behind this feature is, that some options shouldn't be changed, unless you know, what you are doing. For example changing the update url is an option just in case the url changes and this is done by developers only. So some of the options can be moved to an "expert" mode.
