For quite some time I was using Total Commander for Windows because it has the ability to create multiple directories. But I finally found an easy way to do that without Total Commander, so I decided to share it with everyone who don't know how. For Linux gurus it may be trivial but a newbie or someone like me who's between "newbie" and "intermediate" will have to gut the internet in order to find the answer.
For this example I'll use directories that normally don't exist in Linux by default, so that you can see more clearly what's happening.
Just open terminal from the menu and type:
and press enter. This will create the directory 'windows' in your home folder and inside 'windows' there will also be the directories 'appdata', 'roaming' and 'local'. The '-p' command stands for "parent", I think. Using the '-p' command you can create as many directories as you like, there's no limit of the number.
Also, if you already have existing folders and you wanna save some typing, you can open terminal in folder where you wanna create multiple directories and type the same command. For instance, my primary NTFS partition is located in '/media/rado/Drive_D'. If I want to create several additional directories inside the "BOOKS" folder on the NTFS partition, I'll just use the file manager to navigate to that folder, open terminal inside (for PCManFM this can be done by pressing F4 inside the folder) and then type the '-p' command:
