Feature request: Import multiple files at once

[username132]

I'd like to be able to import multiple (PNG) files at once. Currently each file has to be imported one at a time.

=====
Inkscape 0.91 (64bit), Windows 10

Please add information about OS/platform and Inkscape version to the bug description, thank you.

Importing multiple bitmap images at once works ok with the Gtk+ file chooser dialog (Linux, OS X) in current Inkscape 0.91 - the dialog does support multiple selections (for any file type import btw).

Which installer did you use for Inkscape 0.91 - 32bit or 64bit?

64-bit

- reproduced on Windows 7 (32 bit), Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Jan 30 2015), using native Windows File->Import dialog.
  In this case the File->Import dialog does not allow the multiple selection of files.

- not reproduced if the GTK open/save dialog is used. (Go to Edit->Preferences->Interface->Windows->GTK open/save dialogs.) In this case the multiple selection is allowed in the import dialog, and both files import successfully. However I get the following warning messages:

(inkscape.exe:5572): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `C:\Users\Alvin\AppData\Local\recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to rename file 'C:\Users\Alvin\AppData\Local\recently-used.xbel.POR05X' to 'C:\Users\Alvin\AppData\Local\recently-used.xbel': g_rename() failed: Permission denied

(inkscape.exe:5572): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to set the permissions of `C:\Users\Alvin\AppData\Local\recently-used.xbel', but failed: Permission denied

These warnings do not appear if I import just a single file.
