Hi all,

Is there a way to enable the dropping of multiple files (all of the same type, e.g. PDF) on to an application icon to open it and then handle the dropped items. I've established it's quite easy using app.openDocument, but this only handles one file (even if you drop more than one). I'm guessing I'll have to use the app.HandleAppleEvent, but the documentation on this seems elusive (to me).

Any help, as always, greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Dave.

Ignore me - I'm the village idiot.

How did you handle multiple files. I thought I knew, but in trying to answer your post, couldn't get it to work.

Embarrassed really... it calls the app.openDocument event for each file dropped on to the icon. I just created an array in the app and appended the 'item' in the openDocument event to it, then processed the array later.

That's right. Multiple event calls. I was thinking there was an array passed and couldn't find it. Thanks
