I just got a couple dozen videos that I want to do what I described |
| 19 |
with. I used the -v option with mv plus double check in dolphin |
| 20 |
afterwards and so far, it works nicely. Tab completion makes it really |
| 21 |
easy. It's faster than all the properties window, copy, paste and all |
| 22 |
that. I might add, along with tab completion, I also use the highlight |
| 23 |
and middle click on the mouse. A faster way to copy and paste when |
| 24 |
needed. That's a nifty feature of Konsole. |

I installed Yakuake and to me, it looks like Konsole but without the |
| 47 |
menu part at the top. Other than that, I don't see anything special. I |
| 48 |
kinda wish I had a terminal with dolphin or something. I think there is |
| 49 |
a way but right now, I'm getting the job done. I'll look into that |
| 50 |
later. Pretty sure it is under the tool menu. |
