drop file into viewer or editor
1. If I drop an epub onto the ebook-edit.exe or ebook-viewer.exe files the epub is opened for editing and viewing respectively

2. If I start the either .exe and a drop an epub into its 'empty' window the epub is not opened

Is this just me or is it the same for everyone ?

If its the same for everyone then is 2. 'fixable'. If it is then can I suggest a Close item (ctrl/W) be added to the editor's File menu ?

Dropping files into the viewer and editor windows is not supported. Implementing that is not worth the effort for me, patches welcome.

Thanks Kovid - Not a problem, drag drop is rarely my first choice to do anything. I stumbled into it when trying to track down why I sometimes lose Alt/F etc in the editor, I was hoping it was just me.

But I did learn something - the blue squarish icon in the viewer represents a diskette, I've always thought it represented a device SD card - which I don't have
