Accept file paths from CLI arguments

[gudvinr]

Now, if you pass any CLI argument, they simply get ignored.
Thus, you can't integrate flut-renamer to existing desktop environments because you can only open an app and then open files from it.

To make it usable as utility (e.g. in file managers) it should be possible to launch an app with file locations passed as CLI arguments, like flut-renamer file1 file2 file3 etc.

It's possible because the dart language can accept command line parameters. While it can be a bit difficult to integrate them into the file manager's context menu. And I don't think this operation will be more easy than drag-and-drop.

I created this issue for CLI arguments specifically. Integration into different environments would be more involved so I didn't plan to cover it here.

But for future reference, if you're interested:

• on windows (up to 11 I believe) it's relatively simple
• on KDE it's comparably simple

However, both methods still need to be able to pass arguments to an app.

OK 👌, thanks for your detailed explanation. Do you mean using flut-renamer file1 file2 file3 etc to open the app with file1 file2 file3 etc being added to the file list?

Basically, yes
