Drag and drop html file from windows desktop and explorer to Composer does not work Steps of reproduce 1. Create Html file, test.html 2. Copy test.html to C:\My Documents 3. Open Composer 4. From Explore, drag test.html file to the composer In the Composer, file:///C:/My%20Documents/test.html is displayed. It does not show the content of the file. The same thing happens if you drag the file from Windows Desktop. It should open the file. Tested 2000-11-08 MN6 Win32 build.
no, dragging an html file into an open edit window is supposed to insert a link to the file.

Seems like odd behavior. Most apps open a document when you drag and drop to them. Often this is much more usable than navigating via the file browser dialog. Further, creating a file:/// URL in a document is something not usually done. Added a couple of UI folks to the cc list...
Bob, you may want to check 4.x, this is the same behavior.
OK. I see the same behavior with 4.x.

Current behaviour is ok but it would be appropriate to add the ability to drop files onto the title bar which then opens the file. This is the same behaviour as some other windows apps
