As a Windows user had never heard of Gqview (though I see there is a 
Windows port available)

Original post appears to be equivalent to dragging multiple files from 
Windows Explorer. If attempting this it is (IMO) important to set 
Preferences-Window Management-Hint for toolbox to [Normal window]. If 
its' hint is set to [Utility window] then nothing appears on the taskbar 
and the Toolbox is likely to be hidden making it AFAICT impossible to 
drag multiple files and have them open as separate images.
