Option to preview + confirm changes before they're actually executed? #19

Great program! I really like that it shows colourful messages on what it's doing when you exit your editor.

Is there a way to have it show me these messages on what it will do, but not actually do them until I confirm? i.e. With a confirmation prompt with y/n to continue or something?

I just get a little paranoid when I'm using these bulk renamer programs, especially considering this one can also delete files too.

I had a look through the existing args, but couldn't see something that sounded like this.

I think this was asked for previously but I was reluctant to implement it due to some complications. I can see some people would want though so I will add it when i get back from holidays in one week.

PS: I have basically got it going ok already but want to test it more thoroughly.

I've implemented this and made new release 2.22 including it. See the Previewing Changes section I added to describe it.

Thanks for the prompt. I should have added this long ago as it makes sense that people would want it.

@hi2u I have enhanced this function and released version 2.23. Please read the updated section in the README.

Awesome, thanks for adding this @bulletmark !
