Odd. > I also tested -S : So this fails, right?: cd ... parallel --workdir . -S : file ::: *.mp4 Given you mentioned the names were UTF-8, which would translate into newlines, could you try: parallel --dryrun --workdir . -S : file ::: *.mp4 parallel -0 --dryrun --workdir . -S : file ::: *.mp4 parallel -0 --workdir . -S : file ::: *.mp4 Internally the names are separated by \n - unless you use -0, in which case they are separated by \0. Can you give me a few of the names that cause problems, so I can add that to my testsuite? > The speed improvements are amazing. It's so satisfying to see all those cores > working. Yes. I still get that feeling every time I get to run GNU Parallel on a machine with even more cores than the last one. Funny how something so predictable can still be amazing. /Ole
