Drag and Drop from Desktop

[FlexibleLearning at aol.com]

Hi Rob,

Desktop drag n drop in this situation will be handled by the OS (the app is not open or in memory so has no means of responding), so you would need to set the Mac filetype and/or Windows registry entries for it to launch required file types. To then auto-quit, this would have to be scripted. Never done this myself, so the above is only my best guess.

This is wonderful for people wanting to support D&D in an open stack/app.

What must change to allow an unopened Rev standalone to respond to the drop of a file or folder on its icon by launching, processing the 
file/folder, and quitting automatically?...In other words, an 
application that responds to _nothing_ except the drop of a 
file/folder on its icon?
