☑️ TODO list

• Support for capture flags in directories (source/dir_*/path/*.png)
• Support for including / in captures with special capture flag: ** (source/**/path/**.png)
• Support for moving/renaming directories (source/directory/path/to/move)
• Support for insertion flags in directories (destination/dir_#1/path/#2.png)
