Here’s something I can’t figure out: When using dired to manage files, let’s say I have a top level directory with a ton of subdirectories, each with a GoPro video inside (unique name/time/date for each file name). How do I move them all at once to that top level directory for easier management/renaming? I don’t want to have to go into each directory and move them one at a time with R. Let’s say all of the files are MP4 or HEVC.

    Ah, this sounds even simpler. I. hadn’t thought of this, but I was doing everything in dired for management/renaming, so I hadn’t thought of doing something like this in the CLI. I’ll make a note of it. Much appreciated.
