| developing droplets in script editor is a pain because if you operate as a droplet the normal debugging methods are closed.
However ,it is possible to supply a run handler that calls the open handler. However, manually entering file aliasen is also a pain though a lesser on. I have produced a droplet that will provide a run handler that will call the open handler with a proper list of file aliasen
save the below script as an application, the handler is saved to a file and also to the clipboard.
Oh, and you will want to make your own run handler, you don't have those files and I don't think the line breaks will survive.
