This feature of paste is quite convenient. Could you please bring it back?

We could also make it possible to paste multiple file paths in the future by unifying the code that handles drag & drop and the code that does Ctrl+V. Iterating through an HDROP with DragQueryFileW is quite simple thankfully. We should consider doing that in the future if we need to touch this code again!
