[Pcb-bugs] [Bug 934616] [NEW] ImportGUI() says "Load Schematics" but cannot do multiple selections

[Dan W. <da...@wh...>]

Public bug reported:

The PCB file format and Import() action support multiple schematic
files, but ImportGUI() only handles single files

It is a common (for me at least) use case to have a board design live in
multiple schematics.  Giving ImportGUI() the ability to select multiple
files and record appropriate "import::srcN" attributes would be nice.

The attached patch does just this.  It adds as a side effect a new
"ghid_dialog_file_select_multiple()" function to make it happen.  It
does not setup the dialog with schematic filetype filters.

The patch also lives on my pcb fork at repo.or.cz as (currently) commit
e41cbedf4e2bc34f556545c180a006c8e7dc9e34
