That's a very reasonable request, particularly considering how we advise 
against importing actual images into TW because of file size. It should be 
possible to select a set of images in some OS window and dragn'drop them 
into TW somehow without actually importing the files.

Drag'nDropping from the OS window onto the green import area lists the 
files for full import but there could be some sniffer tool that senses if 
they are images and asks of one wants the files or merely if _canonical_uri 
tids should be created.

I tried to DnD into a tiddler editor but this, to my surprise, didn't give 
anything. I was expecting to see the titles as strings there, upon dropping 
them, but really hoping it would be titles+paths. If this worked, one could 
make a macro to traverse through such a fields list and create a tiddler 
with a _canonical_uri field for each.

Does anyone know if it is reasonable to request that DnD from an OS window 
into an editor should give a list of file paths? Or is there some "obvious" 
reason why this doesn't already work? Is it purely a browser issue? Or 
maybe it *does* work in other OS'es than Windows?
