This is a question for the Ranger (file manager)

Let's say that I have a directory with five files..

for i in $(seq 1 5); do touch "$i.jpg"; done;
mkdir subdir

How would I move 1.jpg, and 4.jpg, and 5.jpg, into subdir?

I need something like a mark and move, or bulk move. Because these are images I need to to be able to render the previews in Ranger (already got that working), before I know which ones I want to move. For this reason I can not simply use mv. I need to interactively pick the batch.

Do you JUST want to move 1, 4 and 5? Or all you just created? What is this dependant on? – Panki Nov 28 '18 at 08:08

I explicitly said I'm using ranger which is a file-manager and I want be able to pick the files on the basis of the images previews. – Evan Carroll Nov 28 '18 at 08:10
