TODO: make note of exact message. It's a KP with QT.

Would solve #3. Requires #4.

When the final destination of a file is currently occupied by a folder that would be deleted at the end due to being empty, the move would be possible in theory, but the current renaming algorithm will reject it.

Required by #4.

The OS X build needed some tricks as Qt5 has that new "plugins" system required for the UI to work. Likely something similar will be needed for Windows.

When BAON is invoked on a directory containing Unicode characters in its name, it fails to scan the contents citing a decoding error. Note that there is no problem when the files inside the directory have Unicode characters in the name.

This is yet another bug that can be atributed to me forgetting to add Unicode conversion down some code path. I think it would be better if I just switched the lot to Python 3 and be done with it.

ANTLR for Python is poorly maintained, chock-full of style problems, requires Java, and it's kind of overkill to use this for a relatively simple grammar such as BAON's anyway.

The current algorithm is safe but highly non-optimal (each file is moved twice). Research into a better algorithm would be welcome, though the problem is not at all trivial and the benefits might not outweigh the costs.
