Unable to drag and drop onto bash script in gnome


Hello,

I am running ubuntu 7.10 and I made a bash script that takes a filename as a parameter ( $1 ). I want to drag and drop folders onto the script ( like I can do in Windows w/ bat files ).

How can I do this in gnome?

Thanks,

David

That's not what I meant. I wanted the script to execute with the dragged folder as the first parameter. Instead I moved the script to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and used right click, script and the name.
