Select one or multiple files, right-click and choose Open With > Other…. From here, navigate to the folder with your script (must end in .sh) and select it. It will now run with the selected files as input arguments. Thereafter, the script will be added to the standard Open With menu for later reuse.

Please note that the script must have the executable permission x set for this to work.
