You just need to implement a KAbstractFileItemActionPlugin like for
instance: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/merge_requests/24/diffs
.

You can then even start with special modes for photos, images, etc based on
mimetype of input files easily.

Once we have a KAbstractFileItemActionPlugin in krename, including it in
default apps installed makes a lot more sense for distros.

We could imagine splitting krename, so that you can the minimal install
this plugin without having the advanced app.
Then you'd have something worse considering always installed.
