It is sometimes useful in wdired to be able to move files into directories that don't yet exist, e.g. when one is reorganizing files and directories. The attached patch (against git HEAD), based on previous work by Joakim Verona (source: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WDired), makes wdired create parent directories needed as necessary for the destination files, conditional on the variable `wdired-create-parent-directories'. What do others think of this feature? Regards, Phil
