Opening multiple files opens multiple Geanys

[tulsmith]

On Ubunto 19.04 with Geany 1.34.1, if I select multiple files in Nautilus and select "Open with Geany" from the context menu, each file opens a new instance of Geany instead of all files opening in the existing Geany window. I don't see anything in the Preferences to control this behavior. I would always want all files to open in the current window and would expect this to be the default behavior

Works fine for me with Geany master branch, Ubuntu 18.04.3, Files (Nautilus) application.

What does Nautilus do when multiple files are opened? Does it run geany filename for each file or one command geany list of files and has this behaviour changed between Ubuntu 18 and 19?

I have tried in ubuntu 19.10 with the master branch of geany and it works perfectly by opening all the files in the same instance of the program. Genay version is 1.37
