Research direction

Start by reviewing the usability issue in HandBrake 3338 and determine whether its pending GUI change affects preset application with Add All. Document the resulting behavior for saved, modified, and mixed presets once the application behavior is settled.

Description

Improvement

Specifically with reference to the usability issue raised in HandBrake 3338, I'd like to request that the documentation is updated to detail how presets are applied when using Add All - most especially if, as currently, the application of preset (be it saved or modified or mixed) is counterintuitive.

Noting that the outcome of 3338 seems to be a pending change in the GUI, if this change is imminent and the solution results in a completely intuitive application of presets, this documentation enhancement may not be needed.
