# NAME

    vidir - edit directory

# SYNOPSIS

    vidir [--verbose] [directory|file|-] ...

# DESCRIPTION

    vidir allows editing of the contents of a directory in a text editor. If

    no directory is specified, the current directory is edited.

    When editing a directory, each item in the directory will appear on its

    own numbered line. These numbers are how vidir keeps track of what items

    are changed. Delete lines to remove files from the directory, or edit

    filenames to rename files. You can also switch pairs of numbers to swap

    filenames.

    Note that if "-" is specified as the directory to edit, it reads a list

    of filenames from stdin and displays those for editing. Alternatively, a

    list of files can be specified on the command line.

# OPTIONS

    -v, --verbose

        Verbosely display the actions taken by the program.

# COLORS

If you want to use dircolors in vim, grab [vidir-ls.vim][0].

Set VIDIR\_EDITOR_ARGS accordingly:

    export VIDIR_EDITOR_ARGS='-c :set nolist | :set ft=vidir-ls'

# EXAMPLES

    vidir

    vidir *.jpeg

        Typical uses.

    find | vidir -

        Edit subdirectory contents too. To delete subdirectories, delete all

        their contents and the subdirectory itself in the editor.

    find -type f | vidir -

        Edit all files under the current directory and subdirectories.
