[Feature Request] Open files in folder

[sirenwerks]

Having to open files from in Bulky is annoying. It would be more useful to be able to select files in a directory, where you frequently notice changes need to be made, and open them in Bulky with the Open With feature. Or at least a drag-and-drop capability.

Also, as stated elsewhere, being able to select all files in a directory (and its sub-directories) and make changes would be helpful; specially if the user could select specific file types within the selection.

In nemo, bulky should already be set up as the default bulk renamer. In this case you can simply select files and hit F2 or right-click and rename, which should launch bulky and populate it with your selection.

If for some reason that doesn't work, check Edit->Preferences->Behavior and make sure 'bulky' is in the 'Bulk Rename' entry at the bottom of the page.

You can also (as of the most recent version) drag and drop files into bulky directly from most file managers.

You can write a bash one-liner to find all files of specific type from a directory (and its sub-directories) using find and pass that list to bulky (refer bulky.py#L361)
