Can't drag and drop more than ten files from OS file manager to Aseprite in Linux

Aseprite v1.2.40-x64
Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon 64-bit

This was reported earlier in late 2019 and early 2023 on different distributions here:

Can't drag and drop in Linux

This is something I encountered about when switching to Linux recently (Manjaro specifically). Dragging & dropping only works on startup for the first files, however subsequent files are completely disregarded. Reopening closed tabs also often opens the reopens wrong file. I’ve tried the Steam version and both release and beta versions, none of which have cooperated. This is really frustrating, as I was hoping to ditch Windows entirely. Versions: Aseprite 1.3-rc1, Aseprite 1.2.40 Operating Syst…

It may have to do with file and path handling differences between Windows and Unix-like OS’s. Maybe an enumeration issue where 0-9 works but 10 fails due to unexpected formatting/parsing of double-digit indices…hell if I know.

In any case, there is no Ctrl-A to select all files or holding Shift to select a range of files in the Aseprite file dialog, meaning the only way to reasonably open a large number of files is a drag and drop operation, which of course is limited to ten files.

I have updated Aseprite via Steam to v1.3.5-x64 and the issue still occurs.
