A very, very early preview of things to come:



Do not be taken aback by the ugliness of the gui, I haven't even touched Photoshop yet. But at least I got the basics working:
-Clicking "Select parent_folder" brings up a file chooser
-Clicking "Run" will run Canti using the given data
-Output of Canti is displayed live in a window of the gui
-Gui is separate from Canti. Canti will still be delivered as a jar with only command line functionality, but you will be able to download this gui as a separate jar and point it to the Canti jar. This is good for two reasons:
1) People who don't want to use a gui (like me) can continue using Canti through command line
2) Development of Canti and CantiGUI are kept separate, making the code a lot easier to deal with

There is a lot more to do:
-Add in all the other Canti command line options (right now there is just the bare minimum: parent_folder and title)
-Make the gui look good
-Various gui coding such as thread management

Don't expect a release any time soon, this is going to take a while
