Introducing Cleandesk.el, a small collection of functions to rapidly rename and process files in Dired.
Pictures, PDFs and many other kinds of files frequently end up on my Desktop. In the past, I used Hazel and/or Devonthink (both macOS only) to automatically rename and refile. Cleandesk offers an alternative (manual) approach for these tasks from within #Emacs. It draws on #Dired and #fd.
To be sure, vanilla Dired probably can do most of this. But perhaps neither as convenient nor as swift. 😉
