Question about shim creation after mass update

[kiumut]

I have two flavors of ffmpeg binaries installed:
ffmpeg-gyan-nightly
ffmpeg-yt-dlp

When I run scoop update * it proceeds in alphabetical order, so shims for ffmpeg, et. al., get created by ffmpeg-gyan-nightly and then are overwritten when ffmpeg-yt-dlp updates next.

I want to preserve the ffmpeg shims that point to the ffmpeg binaries in ffmpeg-gyan-nightly. I only use the ffmpeg binary in ffmpeg-yt-dlp for yt-dlp and have set an environment variable for that.

I read the scoop help shim but I don't understand it beyond the simple examples. I also read the wiki and can't find any good documentation on shims and doing what I want to do. I don't want to scoop shim rm ffmpeg as that will also remove the desired shims pointing to the ffmpeg binaries in ffmpeg-gyan-nightly.

Thus, I want to disable shim creation for ffmpeg-yt-dlp completely.

I have been doing scoop update * | scoop update ffmpeg-gyan-nightly -f so that the ffmpeg-gyan-nightly ffmpeg shims are re-created, but surely there has to be a better way?

I guess there is no really nice solution. The only thing that comes into my mind is: scoop update * | scoop reset ffmpeg-gyan-nightly

With this the shims of ffmpeg-gyan-nightly are recreated. Not nice but working.
