Probably. It will be done in the next commit.

If you can make that work, that would be wonderful. The problem is  
that the files are treated in order, so when the second file is to be  
processed, the caret is at the tab stop for the first file, etc, so I  
don't really know of an elegant way to make it work. The thing would  
be of course for Allan to allow us to handle multiple dragged files  
as one drag.

On this note, it might be a good time to mention that the image drag  
command responds to the modifier keys option and shift. Try shift- 
dragging and option-dragging the files to see what happens. (I think  
you might need to press the shift/option after the drag has started).
I guess this reminder would have worked better on the user's list ;).

I made that change as well, it will be there in the next commit.
