Mkvextract global tags

Suggestions

It’s possible to add global tags to mkv video file via mkvpropedit.

mkvpropedit "source-filename.mkv" --tags global:tagFilename.xml

But it doesn’t look like it’s possible to extract global tags in isolation from other track specific tags using mkvextract.
You can only extract them all.

mkvextract "source-filename.mkv" tags tagFilename.xml

I’m interested in using mkvextract in conjunction with mkvpropedit within PowerShell scripts to do automated batch file tag editing of some global tags.
It would be easier to manipulate the XML files extracted from mkvextract if they only contained global tags rather than also including track level ones.

Could I perhaps suggest the option of extracting just global tags as a feature request for consideration in some future release?

I’ve added an option for that.

Please post feature requests over on Codeberg in the future, not here. They’re much more likely to be overlooked here. Thanks.

I’ll look out for the new --no-track-tags option in future release.
Thanks.
