Maestro: Adding layers to map enhancement

Description

Currently adding many layers to a map from a different folder is tedious. Each time, you have to click all the way through the tree to find the resource you are looking for.

I can think of two ways of addressing this:

1) remember the last location a layer was added from when adding a new layer

2) allow multi-select of resources to be effective in the layer addition tool (ie. allow multiple layers to be added with a single File-Open dialogue).

Actually, Maestro remembers the folder you selected in the main tree, but not the folder selected in the layer picker.

I can add the "remember last location" if you think it would be more logical?

The multiselect should be do-able.

Fixed in r4336.

You can now select multiple items in both the "Open Resource" dialog, and in the "add layers to map" dialog.

Please re-open if the "remember last location" should be added as well.

That scratches my immediate itch, thanks!

I don't store my resources in the same folder (layers and data usually take four-five clicks to get to), so the remember-last-folder would be better for me on a per-resource basis, but its not critical.
