Description
Suppose there are 50 images in a folder. I want to be able to select a few (say 3) in the windows explorer and when i hit enter to open the images in ImageGlass, i only want those 3 images to open in a single ImageGlass instance so that when i click on "show next image" or use arrow keys, only those 3 images keep looping.
Right now when i hit enter after selecting say 3 images, 3 different instances of ImageGlass are open and when i click next image on any of the 3 images, all the images in the folder keep looping.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Windows Explorer launches ImageGlass for multiple selected files and how the single-instance behavior is handled. Reproduce the three-image scenario, then verify that one ImageGlass instance opens with only those selected images and that next-image navigation loops through that selection rather than the whole folder.
