qmv
Move files and directories using the default text editor to define the filenames. More information: https://www.nongnu.org/renameutils/.
-
Move a single file (open an editor with the source filename on the left and the target filename on the right):
qmv {{source_file}}
-
Move multiple JPG files:
qmv {{*.jpg}}
-
Move multiple directories:
qmv -d {{path/to/directory1}} {{path/to/directory2}} {{path/to/directory3}}
-
Move all files and directories inside a directory:
qmv --recursive {{path/to/directory}}
-
Move files, but swap the positions of the source and the target filenames in the editor:
qmv --option swap {{*.jpg}}
-
Rename all files and folders in the current directory, but show only target filenames in the editor (you can think of it as a kind of simple mode):
qmv --format=do .
