Add multiple files at once

Feature request. Now, adding multiple PDFs one by one is quite a tedious job.

Hey @piomar123!

This has been requested a lot and it's very high in the backlog - my current implementation idea will be as follows:

  1. Allow picking multiple files in the file explorer
  2. Display an intermediate view that allows arranging the files so that the merging order is clear and not determined by the order in which the files are selected in the file explorer
  3. Merge the PDFs and display them, allowing further page-level manipulations

That's great to hear! Could you also add to this intermediate view a possibility to order by file name (and other attributes if available)? That would be helpful if the order is changed by the file explorer.
