After two years, this bug is still there (package mmv 1.01b-15 on Ubuntu 12.04 amd64). This is a serious usability issue: I don't use mmv so frequently to remember that the "-r" option is needed to rename directories, so every time I lose several minutes to try to understand what's wrong with my matching string. And, honestly speaking, this behaviour for the "-r" option really doesn't make much sense, it's just counterintuitive.
Please merge the patch provided by Ulrich Eckhardt in the main tree, it shouldn't take too long to test it. Thank you very much for your patience and best regards Andrea -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
