Either QB64pe enhancement or IDGI

After some thought (always bad for me), Either this will become a QB64pe enhancement or I Don't Get It.

I use drop files a lot since implemented a couple releases ago (v1.3).  It's easy to use and setup.  A couple of commands and your program can take a list of files dropped on a window.  I want to take to the next level.

Drop them on the desktop icon link.!  And process them.  This a hidden feature (or not well known) in Microsoft windows.  I read through the program doc's again.  Not clear if it is already implemented.

Let the fun begin....

If you drop a selection of files on an executable it will pass the filenames as arguments to the program.

Code: (Select All)

Print "File Count:"; _CommandCount

For i = 1 To _CommandCount

    Print Command$(i)

Next i

OK, this is one solution.  Does work with limits.  Too many commandcount entries does not work.  This a buffer size limit I think.  Not a count limit.

Dbox thanks for the insight trick.  Another toolbox additive snip-it.
I can always use this as preprocessing trick, and follow on with dropbox later on.  Why one over the other USE BOTH!!
