Then, one by one, find CLI replacements for the management tasks you currently use a GUI for.Balderdash!! Yes, knowing cp, mv, ls, and friends is useful and at times even necessary, but do install the mc package (Midnight Commander) and enjoy the Swiss Army Chainsaw of Linux system
To each his own, but there are little inconveniences about mc that I just don't like, mainly having to do with, among other things, lack of newline and (maybe, it's been a long time) wildcard support in dialog boxes.
Also, can you script mc?
for i in *jpg; do
a=$(echo "$i" | cut -c22-)
b=$(echo "$a" | tr \ _)
mv "$i" "2009_summer_vacation_$b"
done
