I know there are already *many* ways to do copy or move and subsequently rename a file (or in the reverse order) in QS, including making use of the fact that those actions automatically re-invoke QS and running shell commands,

However, I often find myself using the Terminal to perform such operations. I really like how cp and mv can rename while performing their primary functions in one fell swoop.

In QS, the third pane called by the "Copy To..." and "Move To..." actions is editable in text mode, but QS returns an error message if the path is not that of a folder's.

What I am asking for is for "Copy To..." and "Move To..." to interpret non-folder paths as Unix's mv and cp commands would.

What do you guys think?
