 Yet another very specific tool that only I need. By default it requires a terminal that supports [terminal graphics protocol](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/),
 but you can fallback to Sixel by passing `--sixel` to the command.

 Then it will read every PNG/JPG in source directory, display it in the terminal and ask you to which of the target directories it should be moved.
-Then it will move it accordingly. 
+Then it will move it accordingly.

+Optional `--scan` argument will scan every directory it `target` and create a list of target directories that way.
 
 Note: it uses `os.Rename` to move the file because I am lazy, so it won't move the file between different drives.
