[Enhancement] Support renaming files located across multiple sub-folders through the GUI without needing to manually add each individual file

[NintendoManiac64]

Simply put, support the renaming of files through the GUI that are located across multiple subfolders, such as renaming the following:

/folder1/file1.url
/folder1/folder2/file2.url

into...

/folder1/file1.desktop
/folder1/folder2/file2.desktop

...but without needing to manually add each individual file.

From what I can tell, there's no way to add the contents of a folder and any contained sub-folders and it only works with individual files.

See also, my thread here where I end up having to mess around with "find" through the terminal because none of the bulk-renamers I knew of supported files in sub-folders:

I guess bulky already works with files in different sub-folders. Try executing the below script to see it

cd ~
mkdir temp_testing
cd temp_testing
mkdir -p folder1/folder2
touch folder1/file1.url
touch folder1/folder2/file2.url
find -type f -name '*.url' -print0 | xargs -0 -n 10000000 bulky '{}'

Before use of bulky

Launch bulky

Oh I didn't realize that I never clarified that I meant through Bulky's own GUI and without manually adding each individual file.

From what I can tell there's no way to add a folder to Bulky to then be able to rename the files inside of that folder and any contained subfolders without manually adding all the files individually.
