Dragging folder to a field under linux adds "file://" beforethefolder

[Olivier Dussutour]

Hello Matthias,
Thank you for responding but I misspoke. I am French and my English is 
awful. :'-(
This is the idea of your script that interests me but how do I change to 
allow drag several files at once?

Cordialement,
