Extracting CLI commands from GUI? (mac)

Is it possible to open the gui (mac), and set all of the options, then see what the equivalent CLI command should be? Or perhaps, is there a log I can look in to see that info for a file I processed?

Well, unlike a lot of GUIs for cross-platform applications, the Mac GUI for HandBrake doesn't just generate a command line string to send to the CLI.
It'd be technically feasible to translate the variables' values into the CLI equivalent, but it's not as easy as just exposing something already in use.
Someone has proposed doing just this with a cool text-file-based queuing system, but I haven't heard back from them yet.

Maybe you should
get a manicure.
