Option to append more files

When dragon-drop is called multiple times, it opens up a new window every time.
It would be nice if it there was an option to just append the file list.

I'm using dragon 1.2.0 which has 2 options that the manpage implies do what you're asking here (and what I also want - to select and drag multiple files at once):

   -a --all
          drag all files at once.

   -A --all-compact
          drag all files at once, only displaying the number of files.

But when I dragon-drop -a [FILES] each file still appears as an individually-draggable entity in the window, and dragging only drags one file at a time.

This is confusing, and seems to be a bug, but I thought I'd check with you two about this first - @schrmh @WorldsEndless ...

I think my problem may be that I'm on Wayland. I discovered that I'm getting these errors in the terminal when running dragon:

[130]tim@thinky:~/src > dragon-drop -a kubernetes/community/icons/svg/control_plane_components/labeled/*.svg
Gtk-Message: 12:25:55.828: Failed to load module "window-decorations-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 12:25:55.829: Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk-module"

(dragon-drop:181685): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:25:55.840: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/icons/16x16/actions/text-x-generic.png.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

I'm on arch + hyprland and it seems that dragon-drop may be hard-coded to only work with GTK?

Found this thread which fixed my issue with dragon-drop -a not working right.

I guess that --all behavior is different from what this issue is asking for.
