Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, I think is an issue the lack of command line support.
It prevents the program from being used on shell:sendto and Explorer context menus.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please consider adding support to add files as command line arguments.

For example. A command like this would start DropPoint with the given files (both are the same):

$ droppoint file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg
$ droppoint -add file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg

A command like this could append other files to an existing DropPoint instance:

$ droppoint -append file3.jpg file4.jpg file5.jpg

If there's no instance available, DropPoint could just start with the given files.

Also, there could be some way to name instances so they can be further called out, like..

$ droppoint -instance selections -add file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg

If instance naming is implemented, perhaps it would be a good idea to name the first one available as "default",
and perhaps the last instance as "last", so it can be used for example in SentTo context menus:

$ droppoint -instance first -append file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg
$ droppoint -instance last -append file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg

Instances could also have default numerations, like -instance 1 .. -instance 2 .. -instance 3 .. and so on.

$ droppoint -instance 1 -append file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg

This feature would allow DropPoint to be started from Explorer context menus, and the SentTo context menu,
without the need to have the program already resident in memory, or having to look for it and start it.

As a personal note, the lack of command line support is the only reason I'm not using this promising tool.

Best regards!
