The version 1.x line no longer exports a "command line".

In the nightly builds ("soon to be 1.1"), the CLI can "run" the queue exported by the GUI, as well as importing GUI presets. This is not equivalent for those of us who prefer the "equivalent CLI" export, but it is what we have available now.

No, just read the CLI docs and pick your options.

Now that is inconvenient!

More seriously, is there a way to use the CLI presets while also choosing which audio and subtitle tracks we want?
