I just tried qmv, briefly. I couldn't figure out how to move files to a different directory, and create that directory if it does not exist.

Let's say I do:

    qmv a.txt
And I get this in qmv:

   a.txt                   a.txt
This does not work:

   a.txt                   foo/a.txt
I was expecting qmv to create the foo/ directory if it does not exist. Even if it exists, it does not work.

Do you know if this works? If it does, how do I do it?




It works for me if the directory exists.


Sorry, I was mistaken. I confirm that that works too. I was just comparing with wdired.. wdired (Emacs) creates that foo/ dir if it doesn't exist.
