It is not a secret that I am a big fan of Dired. Recently I learned
     about a thing introduced relatively recently into Emacs, that is,
     the wdired-create-parent-directories variable. If you set it to a
     non-nil value, renaming a file or directory in Wdired to something
     containing one or more slashes will Do The Right Thing. How cool is
     that?

     Also, I have set wdired-allow-to-change-permissions to t, and now I
     can change file permissions in Wdired with keyboard macros, for
     instance. (It's probably not much more powerful than good ol' chmod,
     but it's Emacs!) Consult the manual for the details.

   Dired continues to amaze me. It's constantly one of those things I say
   I will make more use of.
