sharing a useful scriptlet

[okaytype]

We should share tools more.

Here's a little template script I've been using a lot. It's UI (mostly poached from Batch) to run something on a drag and drop list of files. Just put your code in the top doThing() class. Improvements and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for sharing this solution. I am sure other users will benefit from you taking the time to write this up.

@okaytype can we add this example to the docs? thanks! (edit: ✅ added)

[okaytype]

Yes. Thank you. I updated my gist with your improvements and made the action name a variable up top so the button and titlebar are easier to edit.

hi @okaytype,

this is useful, thanks for sharing.

I’ve made some small edits: using showInterface instead of showUI (deprecated), using negative values and padding to make the list and buttons responsive, and some tiny PEP8 edits.
