In a "drag and drop" situation, I see that you can get the path of a file from 
"Get file from pasteboard"
Cool... except,

This only seems to be the case from the On Drop Database Method,

Which... only occurs if the file in question is dropped onto an "empty" part of 
the Windows MDI window.
Not in a form of any type.

I want to be able to drag a picture file from a desktop folder, and know the 
name of the file that I dropped.
(or better, multiple file names)
I really need to have my users drop this somewhere on a form.

However, dropping these onto an "empty" area in the MDI window seems counter 
intuitive for my illustrious user base.

I can get picture that's contained in the file, no problemo
But what I really want is the path/file name as well

This is, of course "Windows" v15 of 4D.
