    There's a traditional semi-standard utility called `rpl` for making this easy.

    Unfortunately the current maintainer of the active fork decided to remove the `-R` option because they think piping find(1) output into it is better.

    There's some discussion at https://github.com/rrthomas/rpl/issues/9 .

    It’s crazy that this project produced such a strong response from anyone.

    I remember writing this old piece of shit around the same time:

    https://github.com/iaindooley/pickdrop

    The first version was a poor implementation in a number of ways and all I got were constructive contributions on how to improve it!

    Why was Heather ridiculed for her comparatively well written and documented project when I received an admittedly very small but generally positive and supportive response?

What are some alternatives?
