I think this is probably a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer on my own. Can I combine run and open handlers? In other words can I make a simple application that will do one thing if a file is dropped onto it using an on open handler and also allow a choose file dialog to be produced if the application is double-clicked using an on run handler? Then perform the same task as the droplet after a file has been chosen?

Sure -- this is very useful.

I have a script that, if a folder is dropped on it, imports the image files in the folder into iView
<http://www.iview-multimedia.com/> and sets a bunch of user annotations according to a
predefined template. To edit and manage the templates, you bring up the script with a double
click rather than a drop. That brings up a menu of operations that includes those management
functions as well as to do the processing usually done by 'open' , but with a file dialog instead
of a drop, as well as 'quit' . The templates that are saved or loaded in the management functions
are stored in the script as properties.
