Forumbits: Drag-and-Drop Files into Powershell Script

Recently in the German Technet Powershell forum, the question came up on how to drag files into a Powershell script in order to process them.

As you can’t drag files directly onto a .ps1-file, one way is to use a wrapper-script.
But I prefer using a GUI for tasks like this. And in this case, its actually quite simple.

I know quite a few admins who don’t like GUIs, for some reason or another. Linux admins especially, they are the high priests of the console cult. I’m quite sure some of them really believe GUIs are evil somehow and not meant to be. I guess it has something to do with the fact that for quite some time GUI was a synonym for MS Windows. And they really hate that. :)
