Drag and Drop images did not work

I was doing the Fish Game Tutorial and I was not able to drag and drop my images into the game. Did this work in the 1.1.3 version?

No, it is a new feature in 1.5 of which I believe we have given the term "ganking."

I found the bug.

I first copied the images into my folder and then I tried to drag and drop them so that I could see them in my project. The Drag and Drop function got messed up with the files already being in the directory.

I was wondering why I could drop images in off the internet but not from the game\image folder on my computer...

- Leave the image directory empty.
- Drag the images into Static Sprite section from a folder other than the game\image folder. This copies them to the proper place, ie: in the game\image folder.

I could only drag 4 images at a time. Would be nice to drag the whole lot or folder. You are probably better off one by one, since they did not go in alphabetically. Kind of tedious if you have a full games worth. Still better than coding them to load!
