	#!/bin/bash

	INPUT=$(yad --width=600 --height=400 --file-selection --file-filter='.mp3 .mkv .mp4 .avi *.flv')

	eval $(yad --width=400 --form --field=start --field=end --field=output:SFL "00:00:00.000" "00:00:00.000" "${INPUT/%.}-out.${INPUT##.}" \| awk -F'\|' '{printf "START=%s\nEND=%s\nOUTPUT=\"%s\"\n", $1, $2, $3}')
	[[ -z $START \|\| -z $END \|\| -z $OUTPUT ]] && exit 1
