Well, there is the bug in macOS Mojave and Catalina (as I consider it as a bug) with the terminal command "open -Rn …". This -n option should induce the Finder to open one window for each file name, but it doesn't. It shows the contents of the directory in question instead, highlighting only the last file name selected. I filed the issue to Apple, but I don't believe that there will be a remedy in due time.
So I thought of a different approach. Instead of one window for each there could be one link for each, in an arbitrary directory.
I realized this as an option originally meant for Mac users. But maybe some Linux users may also prefer using this option to opening multiple windows when many images are selected. For Windows users there is the drawback that Windows seems to allow to set links in the terminal only to administrators. If there is no workaround for this restriction, I can shut out Windows from this option altogether.
Please give it a critical judgment and feel free to improve my English message wording.
@BzKevin Incorporating this option needed a massive reorganization of the code. Please be most critical as you are the owner of the script.
