Re: add "start application" to Right-Click Menu for Win11
Yes, this kind of use case will definitely be supported in future versions.
That involves opening the UI and running a given preset in the selected files right away, as well as just launching FileBot (or any other program) and passing the selected files along.

Re: Display/Remove Close Captions

:idea: In general, you can do something like this to check the number of subtitle tracks and then add a CC2 / CC3 / CC4 / etc marker accordingly:
{
def cc = text.size()
if (cc >= 2) return " [CC$cc]"
}
