Package: mmv
Version: 1.01b-15
I just tried to rename a bunch of directories:
$ mmv -v "DSide-*" "DSide #1"
DSide-* -> DSide #1 : no match.
Nothing done.
This is completely unhelpful, as the error "no match" seems to indicate the
match string was wrong. Only after many fruitless attempts and thoroughly
searching the manpage I found the "-r" option that (for reasons I don't
understand) is necessary to convince mmv to move directories. At the very
least I would have expected the "-v" to tell me that the matching directory
entries are not considered in the rename.
Looking at the sources, I'd do something like the following to function
keepmatch():
#ifdef IS_MSDOS
- if ((ffrom->fi_attrib & FA_DIREC) ? !dirs : !fils)
+ if ((ffrom->fi_attrib & FA_DIREC) ? !dirs : !fils) {
#else
getstat(pathbuf, ffrom);
- if ((ffrom->fi_stflags & FI_ISDIR) ? !dirs : !fils)
+ if ((ffrom->fi_stflags & FI_ISDIR) ? !dirs : !fils) {
#endif
+ if (verbose)
+ printf("ignoring directory %s\n", ffrom->fi_name);
return(0);
+ }
Cheers!
