What would be cool with wdired would to be able to "mark"
certain files, and then by a global edit, like a query-replace "!",
to change only *those* files' names.
Unfortunately, query-replace "!" changes ALL of them, marked or not.
Ideas?
Thanks!
David

Sure:
1) (In Dired) mark all the files you want to rename
2) Press t k
3) Enter WDired and do you query-replace with "!"
