JKP> Well there is a "secret" trick. You can drag your selection to a
JKP> konsole, and it will dump all the file names then. You can then
JKP> prefix that with "mv" and postfix it with the directory you want to
JKP> move them to.
I also hope to commit a patch to SVN in the next few days that I wrote a
while ago that allows you to select a bunch of files and then run a
command on them. I frequently run something like "cp %all ~/tmp", for example.
