I rarely make script apps, so this may be a really naive question. Is it widely (at all?) recognized that you can have a script app that can be run either by double-clicking or by dragging files over it? A "drapplet"? As follows:

-- a script that can be run either by double-clicking

on run argv
display alert "Double-clicked or run from editor"
-- I don't know how to tell the difference
end run
on open args
set oldDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return & return}
try
display alert "Files dropped:" & return & return & (args as text)
end try
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiters
end open
Here is a template I use that allows you to use the same code whether it is dropped or run:
(* This technique allows you to differentiate whether the main routine was entered by a drop or by a direct open. *)
property p_Open : false global g_OpenArgList
on open (aList) global g_OpenArgList
set g_OpenArgList to aList set p_Open to true run end open
on run if p_Open then set p_Open to false set aList to g_OpenArgList set theSender to "open" else set aList to {1, 2, 3} set theSender to "run" end if
display dialog "aList from \"" & theSender & "\": " & aList as string with title "Main Routine"
end run
