See the entry for dragDrop in the dictionary. You can get the file paths
from there.
on dragDrop -- check for file paths
get the dragData["files"]
...
pass dragDrop
end dragDrop

Drag-and-Drop on Windows works as expected. But I have another request and
do not know how to handle it so far.
The OS should know which file a user has selected. Is there are a command
or Shell function to know which files are selected in the Operating System
to receive their file path back in LiveCode without much user interaction.
The user shall NOT move the file as in Drag-and-Drop, but just click a
button to know about these selected files and folders and process them as
desired.
Speaking about Windows, only folders and files in a current folder can be
user-selected. So, if we had the information about the currently selected
folder and the selected files and folders inside, it would be a huge
advantage for the application I am working on.
Thanks for any hint if this is conceivable.
