mvparent.sh was originally written to be integrated in the ROX-Filer directory "Send to" menu (and was named mv_here.sh). It moves the contents of a directory into its parent directory, then deletes the empty directory. To install this script, just copy it in a directory which is in the PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin: cp mvparent.sh /usr/local/bin If you want to integrate it in ROX-Filer: mkdir -p ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo/.inode_directory cd ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo/.inode_directory ln -s `which mvparent.sh` "Move here"
