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

Good idea, Walter. I use something similar myself.

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.

The following variation uses the current Finder selection to create a run handler/alias list, which is copied as text to the clipboard. The script can be run from the Script Menu or as an application (applet/ droplet). The applet would need to be launched in a way that avoids selecting it in Finder, such as from the Dock (otherwise the action will obviously change the selection).
