Imagine if a programming language had at least two compilation targets from the start: machine code/byte code and prose.

It doesn't seem to know what to do with combined flags in this case.

go build
go doc -allThis is neat. Though when I ran a fairly simple ffmpeg command through here to try and make sense of it, it was only semi-useful.

I found a modified a ffmpeg shell script no later than yesterday that finds all my movies files and generates one jpeg with 16 "tiles" thumbnails for each movie to try to make sense of the countless family "MOV40931.MOV" and whatnots and I've got to say: I agree with you.
My big moment of solitude was when I started to work on parallelizing my shell script only to realize that, of course, ffmpeg already makes good use of all the cores so there's no point in parallelizing the shell script.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Some shells have this built in, like Fish and my own one ( https://murex.rocks ) too
Fish has it? Which one is it? I use fish but I didn't know that.

Fish isn’t the only one though. In fact I’m not even sure it was the first. But it’s definitely the most mainstream shell to support it.
Every couple of months I need this and can’t remember it’s name! So good to come across this again. Now on I’ll go through my hn comments.

I wrote a script called dovid I left on Pastebin that creates contact sheets (what you are describing) for every video file of any popular format in the directory executed and then combines them into a webpage or pdf. But it isn't an exceptional script because it just utilizes vcs[1] and convert (ImageMagick). At some point, I stopped using the script and just aliased this command (arbitrarily as 'peak') in my ~/.bash_profile
alias peak='for i in *.mkv *.mpg *.wmv *.avi *.mov *.m4v *.mp4; do echo "$i"; /opt/local/bin/vcs -q -q -j -dt -ds -dp -u "0" -n 16 -c 4 -H 162 "$i"; done; echo ".......... converting jpgs to a pdf"; /opt/local/bin/convert *.jpg index.pdf; /bin/rm *.jpg'
