All the suggested methods are valuable and valid -- thanks! However,
one piece (or two) of the puzzle is missing; what I'm really after is
the ability to drop files and folders on the app's icon (you can
associate apps with document types, but what about directories?),
without the app having to be already running. If I could associate
folders with a Cocoa-document application, that would solve all my
issues (I think).
Thanks,
Sean

while that is one way... it's also possible to just use the
NSApplication delegate methods that will open a dropped file
application:openFile:
application:openFiles:
application:openFileWithoutUI:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/
ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSApplication.html#//apple_ref/
occ/cl/NSApplication>
That really is the better way. You'll get a message for each dropped
file (or a message for the dropped files)

As written in the list archives.
NSArray *myArgs = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] arguments];
Maybe it will help.

All,
I like the ability of applescripts to capture launch arguments so
easily, especially with the semantics of a drag-and-drop
application. Obviously, a C application comes with argc and argv,
so I'm wondering if Cocoa provides any useful facilities for doing
this -- perhaps something similar to an
NSApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification, with useful "userInfo."
