Dialog File Drop
The File Drop dialog is an alternate drag-and-drop target for importing files and folders into the active disk image.
The dialog is opened from the directory and file panel toolbar / context commands when the alternate drag-and-drop mode is enabled.
The alternate mode is controlled by:
- Menu: Options -> Import using Drag and Drop
When this option is enabled, the main window no longer accepts a direct drop; instead, drop operations first open the File Drop dialog as a landing target, and the dropped items are then forwarded to the Import Files.
The File Drop dialog shows a single large drop area with a short instruction asking the user to drag files or folders onto it.
- Dropping files or folders closes the dialog and hands the list off to the Import Files dialog for selection and confirmation.
- Pressing Escape closes the dialog without importing anything.
The dialog is intentionally minimal: it exists solely to collect the dropped files without having to drop directly onto an already-busy main window.
- No options are set from this dialog. Options are chosen in the Import Files that follows.
- When the Import using Drag and Drop option is disabled (the default), dropping files directly onto the main window produces the same result without first showing this dialog.
- Dropping anything other than files or folders has no effect.
