Feature Handle multiple, nested folders and automatically traverse them to find images

Additional Detail Typically, camera trap images are taken from multiple SD cards. Each camera names the images with its own name, meaning you end up with non-unique image names across all the SD cards. On top of that the images are typically nested inside multiple folders.

It would be nice for the application to automatically figure out the image location and not be stumped by the duplicate image names.

I am excited to see and hear about the progress of multiple nested folders! I recently learned about MegaDetector and was elated to find there was a GUI! Played with it this morning and like it a lot. I plan to use it on a project starting this year! If the multiple folders feature isn't added before then, I suppose we'll just load each folder separately before heading in the field each morning. Will still save time even with the additional step.

Keep up the good work!
