This change was introduced in dd7e27a098
as a possible fix for #4024, but the change is too disruptive to be
introduced at this stage, we need some extra UI elements to make the
drag & drop accessible in both modes: the default v1.2 behavior, and
a possible new selection mode, e.g. #1498
As now the native file selector is the default one, we moved the
option to re-enable the previous file selector to Edit > Preferences >
General > Show Aseprite file dialog option.
Related to #3615 and added as a simple alternative to #2745 which
require native widgets on each native file dialog.
Now a single click will not enable the range, using Shift+click or
dragging the mouse will enable the range of multiple
layers/frames/cels by default (but there are new options to go back to
the previous behavior or customize this behavior in an extensive way).
As the "multiple windows" feature is still buggy (#3556) and we've
disabled it by default, it's nice to make this option more visible (in
the General section) so users reliant on this will find the switch
quickly.
We've added an experimental option (enabled by default) to keep the
compressed tileset data when we load/save a .aseprite file to avoid
recompressing each time we save (and only compressing the tileset if
tiles are modified).
This is an attempt to make the save operation faster when we use
sprites with several tilemap layers + large tilesets (many tiles, with
big tiles).

This was changed in df33744c85, but now
we're adding an option to switch between both behaviors. We prefer to
keep the old behavior as the default one and the new one as an
optional preference.

Now on Windows it's more clear the different APIs to use (Windows
Pointer vs Wintab), the Wintab API works as before (generates mouse
events on WM_MOUSE message instead for each packet), and there is a
new Wintab mode to create events directly from packets (still a little
buggy with some tablets, but might be useful in other tablets to get
more precision for fast strokes).
We've changed the way the "recover files" option works:
* Now it's an option that is always available (so we can open files
even from sessions that were correctly closed in the past)
* We can open sessions from other Aseprite versions (as in a "best
effort" approach, if it works, ok, if it doesn't -> contact user
support)
