With DC-7.0-build-6055-20150610-win32 on Win7 in Vbox,

DC opens 2+ files of same type with LibOffice-4.4.3.2.
But when selecting a mix of file types,
does not offer an Open option
but pressing Enter will open the Highlighted file.

Hi!

It's still reproducible on 0.7.8 beta (7400M)
OS: Windows 10 x86_64

Even if I try to open 2 XML files from one directory - only the last selected file is opened in the editor.

This bug (lack of feature?) is very disappointing - it feels really bad without having any possibility to open multiple files at once

You can work around it by setting up file associations for specific file types in the settings. And make sure that your cursor is on the file with the needed extension when opening multiple files.

I wrote about this bug and related behavior here, in Russian:
