Comment (by ryandesign):
Dragging a file onto an app does not cause macOS to pass that file to the
app executable as a command line argument. Instead, the app must implement
the
[https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsapplicationdelegate/1428612-application
application:openFile:] and
[https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsapplicationdelegate/1428742-application
application:openFiles:] methods of the NSApplicationDelegate class;
NSApplication will call those delegate methods with information about the
files. It seems beyond the scope of a portgroup to potentially implement
an entire NSApplication-based wrapper for the program to provide this
functionality.
