I've got it sorted. Seems to be an issue with remnants of older versions on the system. A .plist file created by a legacy issue is not written correctly for v10. This causes the drag/drop to fail.
So how to fix it.... OS 10.6.x or earlier..... Go to [volumes]/Users/[your account]/Library/Preferences. find com.barebones.bbedit.plist NOTE: There are many barebones preference files, only this particular file is a problem. You can leave all other barebones files you find alone. Move com.barebones.bbedit.plist to your desktop (or simply trash it) then restart BBEdit 10. You may need to reenter your serial number. You'll also have to reset any specific preferences you changed previously. However, the drag/drop should then be functional. To Fix in OS10.7. In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.. from the menu Type "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box presented. That will open the users Library folder. Go to Library/Preferences find com.barebones.bbedit.plist NOTE: There are many barebones preference files, only this particular file is a problem. You can leave all other barebones files you find alone. Move com.barebones.bbedit.plist to your desktop (or simply trash it) then restart BBEdit 10. You may need to reenter your serial number. You'll also have to reset any specific preferences you changed previously. However, the drag/drop should then be functional. The issue seems to present itself when a previous version has already been installed. And I'll admit, my bbedit prefs file is probably at least 2 versions old. So in the end.. it could be construed as user error... I'm an idiot.. a fool.. a dolt.. and deserve a lashing. I hope my posts help other users.
