Update move_downloads.sh

What was young me thinking? Probably nothing.

While mask_to_names() was not causing issues in practise, it was
rewritten to be more reasonable. Not that it is the only
thing that could use a rewrite...

Ah, to be young again...

 adhocify passes the inotify event to the command as an environment variable. The variable is called ```ADHOCIFYEVENT``` and contains the value of inotify_event->mask as set by inotify.
 
+#### Receiving events as strings
+You can also get a string of the inotify events. This is particularly useful if you have a shellscript and don't want to interpret the ```ADHOCIFYEVENT``` variable yourself 
+```
+echo "test" > /tmp/test
+adhocify -m IN_ALL_EVENTS -w /tmp/test echo File: "%eventfilepath%" Event: "%eventmaskstr%"
+Starting execution of command echo
+File: /tmp/test Event: IN_ATTRIB

+Starting execution of command echo
+Starting execution of command echo
+File: /tmp/test Event: IN_OPEN
+File: /tmp/test Event: IN_CLOSE,IN_CLOSE_WRITE
+File: /tmp/test Event: IN_MODIFY
+
+```
+In this example, another shell ran
+```
+chmod 600 /tmp/test
+echo "test" >> /tmp/test
+```
+
+Passing ```-q``` keeps adhocify silent, surpressing those "Starting execution..." messages.
