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.

    I think it would be a better task for just the CLI

    No, it wouldn’t :). You can certainly do it, but it is frankly, easier with Emacs only.
