Not at all, I am familiar with command line commands but often forget they exist. :) Still, I was hoping to take action on each file individually (move some to one place and some to another) so I wanted just a list of .epub files (or any other file type). I could use the ls command, but it gets combersome to type in the name I want for every file instead of just cmd-c. Still, the terminal may work in may cases, and would certainly help in moving all Bard books... mv DB-*.zip books
