sel

#!/bin/sh

# Allow bulk operations on a list of selected files.

# Requires: dmenu (or similar), trash (optional), open-file (for open only)

# Usage: sel [-m menu] [command]
# If no command is specified, shows the list of selected files
# Commands:
#	add [files...]: add files to selection
#	addall: add all files in the current folder to selection
#	clear: clear selection
#	cp: copy to current dir, possbily after editing filenames
#	edit: open selection in editor
#	mv: move to current dir, possbily after editing filenames
#	open: open files using open-file
#	rm: remove selected files and clear selection

# TODO: The usage of paste(1) is a bit of a hack, and for example it does
# not work if filenames contain tab characters. Fix this.

# Bug (probably not fixing this, use virename): moving a file to
# itself gives an error and rm is not run.

file="$XDG_DATA_HOME/selectedfiles"
menu="" # default uses dmenu-filepicker default
editor=${EDITOR:-vi}
rm="trash rm"  # replace with rm -r if you don't use trash
