Halftone 0.7.1

Halftone 0.7.1 refines the current experience, by giving you a new, faster way to open your images, letting you open multiple Halftone instances and making the image preview slightly less annoying.

Here are the main changes:

1. External image opening: Open your images directly from the file manager of your choice, by right-clicking the image (or images) and clicking to open it with Halftone.
2. Multiple instance support: Now you can have multiple Halftone windows opened at the same time, simply right-click on the Halftone icon on your desktop and select the "New window" action.
3. Preview zoom retention: The image preview will now remember the zoom level that you set before making adjustments to the image.
