Drag and drop photos/folders to iPhoto 5's dock icon

iPhoto 4 and below frustrated me to no end with its lack of a "drag and droppable" dock icon. Due to the nature of my workflow, and the way I manage my pictures, the Import dialog within iPhoto was too inadequate and cumbersome for my purposes. And due to the limited screen space on my 12" PowerBook, dragging and dropping multiple items into an open iPhoto window was implausible.

Thankfully, Apple fixed this issue with iPhoto5. You can now import pictures from anywhere (Finder, Preview, browser, etc.) by dragging and dropping them onto iPhoto's dock icon, even when iPhoto isn't running.
