Consider using cli-table3 for easier output reading

Right now it can get pretty hard to follow the output from a rename action, especially when things get multiline, it would be awesome if we could get a table layout going on.

Hi.. the only minor, cosmetic issue with console tables is that they don't accept streaming input. Renamer has a streaming output, writing logs as files are renamed. If i use a table, i'd need to wait for renamer to finish its work (which could take a while on slow machines with a lot of renames) before writing a console table.
Renamer v1 will land soon which has two new output views: --view long and --view diff (screenshot below). Do these new views help?
Yep, I actually recently grabbed @next after logging this issue, the new outputs are great
Would it be possible to have Renamed: ✔ hidden unless -v is set? Given that, as far as I am aware, unless -v is set, every item output will be renamed?
yeah, that would make sense.. i removed the Renamed: ✔ output unless the -v flag is set, thanks. Let me know if you find anything else. You could submit a PR for --view table if you like, shouldn't be too hard to implement.
