Remembering last window position interacts poorly with cascaded windows from adding multiple torrents

(This issue is the lowest-priority of all low-priority issues, IMO.)

I like that BiglyBT always remembers the last location of a window of each "type" of window, and next time you see a window of that type it puts in that place. (Let's me arrange the different windows nicely.)

I also like that BiglyBT lets you drag a bunch of torrents over it and adds them all - and if you're in the mode "show open torrent dialog for each added torrent" then it pops up a nice set of windows so you can select files or change download location or whatever and then click "OK" on them one at a time.

But those two features interact poorly with each other, IMO. BiglyBT should remember the location of the first open torrent dialog so that next time you open a torrent the window will pop up where you put it last. But in fact BiglyBT remembers the location of the last of the opened cascaded windows. So the next time you open a bunch of them via drag/drop they continuing marching across the screen where they left off (and if you open just one, e.g., via copy a magnet link or torrent hash, it also opens in some location which is not where you put it).

Sad.
