The array EVASION_ALTERNATIVES isn’t looped over correctly. Correction:

-		for delta in $EVASION_ALTERNATIVES ; do
+		for delta in ${EVASION_ALTERNATIVES[*]} ; do

Currently the extended set always contains the standard captures. It might be nice to add some time-shift to them so that they’re different.

Complete manpage.

Safe length measuring, when probing the video length, prints only the number of seconds and milliseconds, it would be better to display a more readable format.

As found in mtn.

Try to avoid capturing mostly-blank frames.

At least on some systems, the console/terminal needs a manual reset (or tset) to be usable after running vcs.

When repeated captures are avoided, captures end up being filtered more than once

When a timestamp is present in more than one set (highlights/std/extended) there’s no need to re-capture it.

No need for description

Bash 2 syntax has been the norm for most versions (although broken in some).

So far none of the major distributions is using bash 2, bash 4 is already gold but not widely-used enough.

Only a few special purpose/minimal distros like DSL retain bash 2.05b, but vcs requires recent versions of ImageMagick, Mplayer and FFmpeg anyway. I can’t see a reason to retain such backwards compatibility.

Parsing of the “-U” option (optional argument) is incorrect, it always receives an argument (empty if none provided) which must be shifted manually. Currently it’s only shifted if provided explicitly.

“–fullname” is not affected since it doesn’t take any arguments.

Configuration options that will trigger a change of all fonts, background and foreground settings respectively

font_filename is ignored in 1.12

An alternative in the form of (boolean) nonlatin_filenames or similar should be added.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.12.1

Introduce new names in 1.12 (this)

Remove old names in 1.13 or 1.14 (FS#151)

Doing this better will remove from of the duplication with overrides, specially on the filename font/non-latin stuff

i.e.

interval=5m

End offset will be set to a small percentage of the length (5.5%? –5m for 90m–), applicable always by default, instead of a fixed value
