I'm the kind that never opens a file manager other than to move stuff from one directory to another

[-] Harryd91@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

File Manager is the best for bulk renaming too

I mean if you knew the command XD a single for loop should work

Eh you rapidly need to know regular expressions to accomplish bulk renaming in the terminal, where some GUI tools like Bulky are a little more powerful for people without chronic eye fatigue.

Yeah I have no idea how to do that too. But I would find it soo nice if Distros would ship bash scripts for all that.

rename EXPRESSION EXPRESSION

With some help on how to do it and actually helpful tldr. btw:

cheat(){
curl cheat.sh/$1

I'm a POSIX shell Chad I write shell scripts with parameters in pure POSIX shell for such things /s

You should try the ranger file manager, thanks to that I almost don't use GUI file managers unless I have a headache

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I have heard of it, but never got around to it. I suppose if I get tired of grep and find and shell scripts I'll probably head that way myself. Thanks
