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 JPEG 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 .
