WB has a feature called "extended selection", where you can select multiple icons whilst holding shift, and then (still holding shift) double-click on an executable to load all those files into the application as it launches. I don't think it is used much, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if some long term Amiga users aren't aware of it.

AmiDock emulates WB functionality, in that dragging a project icon over a tool will launch the applcation and pass the file dragged in to it to load.

However, if you select multiple files and drag them over an icon in the dock, AmiDock launches the application multiple times, each instance getting a different file.

Shouldn't AmiDock behave the same way as WB in this regard? ie. multiple files dragged in should launch the application once, passing all the filenames to that instance?

to what i can see AmiDock already has this option in its preferences program just under the "object" list of the "Content" tab.
