I _think_ that all you have to do is, in your application delegate,
implement "application:openFile:", which should be called for each file
that is double clicked or dragged onto the application icon. See the
documentation for NSApplication for details.

Dear anyone,
I have been looking through three cocoa books for about 2 hours, still
I can not find what should be fundamental to any application.
Does anyone know how to get references to the files that were dropped
onto an application or double clicked from finder? I have no need for
"document based application". I don't want to open a document and
represent the contents with my application, I just want to do
something with the file. I don't want to use applescript and make a
droplet (can't "change all" in the "open with" in the "get info"
dialog--AS droplets seem to be broken in this way). I want to do this
from a cocoa application. All I want is the path names to the
dropped/double clicked files. One would think this would be easy, but
I can not find it in Hilegass, Building cocoa apps, or cocoa
programming (sams). So I have looked and looked hard. Sorry if this is
somewhere obvious, but I feel I've paid my RTFM dues on this one.
Please help.
James
