Willem Thanks, pickafile installed as advertised. Am I correct that it is not possible to move through a directory choosing to either move-copy individual files or delete them? one at a time? I understand that only one file can be moved at a time. These two choices are, at least for me, the most common, actually three choices, do nothing, delete, or copy a file. thanks tom On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 08:23:35AM +0200, Willem van der Walt wrote: > For what its worth, here is one I wrote called pickafile. > It is part of the package kies that I wrote. > Copy pickafile, getterm and catchkey into the execution path, e.g. > /usr/local/bin and copy pickafile.1 to a directory in your manpath, > e.g. /usr/local/man/man1 > > Two keys not yet documented is v for view based on mime tipe and m > for move or rename. > m is used a first time to identify what needs to be moved and a > second time once the place where it needs to be moved to, is > reached.
