Hi,

I think it would be a better idea to always perform
   [_listener application: self openFiles: files];
in NSApplication (even if there is only one file).

In GSServicesManager you could then use this code (beware I didn' test this):
I liked your suggestion. i refined it to handle the special case of "1" file 
only too. It appears to work fine, I will commit it later!
What is the point of a special case? If the delegate implements 
-application:openFiles: you should call it even if only one file is supplied. 
Note that a (modern) delegate might only implement -application:openFiles: but 
not -application:openFile: and your special case (at least as far as I 
understand) would break such programs.
Current apple documentation says nothing about using "openFiles" instead of "openFile". Furthermore they state "Tells the delegate to open multiple files.". Multiple for me means > 1. So, at least, it is confusing and by reading the spec I would understand to implement both methods and expect the latter do be called only by more files. This is why I had implemented the special case last week, out of the documentation. But of course only a test will do.
