Dragging and dropping exactly on the green bar still results in the image taking over the screen and inability to access the original TW.
Once I close TiddlyDeskTop and end the nw.exe process and restart, I can then re-open the original TW5 file -- but no image has been added. In an older 5.1.14 file, without the plugin, dropping exactly on the green bar imports the image -- but as binary which of course is not what is wanted. Thanks!
