The issue with your patch is that everybody will have HTML view by default, and I prefer the current view as default for most users.
I fully understand that it is not cool not to have the choice (Windows users can save preferences), but unfortunately I currently don't have the time to focus on a good GUI.
On the ToDo-list, but I can not promise any ETA.

Is there currently a way to set the default view? or to even have it remember the view i last set it to? I dont mind manually editing a config file if necessary. Thank you.
running kubuntu 17.04, help about in mediainfo-gui shows: MediaInfoLib - v0.7.91
oh unrelated, but the right click context menu was not showing in kubuntu 17.04, I used the following command to make it show:
There is still no change on this request status, but we'll have soon a micro-crowdfunding campaign and users will be able to prioritize such kind of feature requests, stay tuned!

ah ok, so its currently in the code only? to set the default view mode? is there no configuration file that can be edited? if not I can for the meanwhile just download the source and edit it directly before a compile

I thought i found a solution that would work for me, upon looking at the options, I see that mediainfo supports arguments, from the commandline I typed mediainfo-gui -help:
--Output=HTML
I tried this on a file: mediainfo-gui --Output=HTML 13.jpg
but it did not work, it still opened in easy view mode, are the command line parameters from the help file still valid? I am a little new to linux so not sure what I might be doing wrong here....

this is an issue with help, which is planned for the command line version, and not the GUI, but is on the GUI too due to a bug in the code.
Lot of things must be fixed in this area, mainly because the sponsors (= $/€) of the tool are not interested in such part of the part, reason we plan to offer micro-crowdfunding so several people can share the cost and make this change happen with only small amount of $/€ each.

I think the crowd funding is a great idea, that and maybe some volunteer coders to help with the code through pull requests, etc. I have a little bit of code experience. If I were to get the gui to honor the commandline arguments would you be interested in adding that code to the code base?

What about setting it through ./configure for the WxWidgets GUI?
Also, since Tree and Sheet view don't work on WxWidgets, shouldn't they be removed from the menu at least?

Not for the moment.
ok, thank you very much for the reply, I appreciate it.

follow up:
this works: mediainfo --Output=HTML 13.jpg
this does not: mediainfo-gui --Output=HTML 13.jpg
is there a way to launch the gui using the command line parameter?

We also take that.

Yes. Go! :)
