Issue 4: Recursive filename

Reported by modi.kon...@gmail.com, Nov 22, 2010

Since its targeted for a lazy programmer like me I would love to pass a directory name and allow it write header information in all the files already there in the directory.

Writing to many filenames is very monotonous. Right now I am doing it by creating a recursive function by myself. But Not liking it really want to be Lazy :)

Sorry not a defect but a feature.

The recursive feature (with -r option along with -a option as it makes sense in append mode only) needs some more discussion as it is a mutating feature (appending to all the files with valid extensions recursively in the given directory).

If the user by mistake realizes later on that the by the info header was appended to all the files by mistake then the tracking from the backup files is a time consuming job.

This feature should be delivered with another feature to Undo the append operation for the selected or all files. Currently putting the feature on low priority to keep the discussion open.
