Description Susan McCourt CLA 2012-12-07 11:09:35 EST 
When I implemented bug 393464, I did not work on IE9 because the drag/drop is not fully supported.  Since then, we've switched to IE10 and caniuse.com claims that the spec is fully implemented.  It's not "just working" so I have work to do to get it enabled...My test code that checks whether it's supported is pretty custom/conservative and maybe needs to be loosened up some.

I see now.  the File API is not fully supported yet in IE10 even though D&D is.  We check that both are there.  Need to see what can be done.

I actually saw this work once on IE10 so there's something more going on, investigating.  Also need to check the import dialog which is using similar mechanisms.

Import dialog and FILE drag drop (not folder) are both working on IE10.  The problem I was running into was that delete seems not to be working on IE10, so when I was dragging and deleting, and dragging again, the navigator was hosed.

Will open a separate bug for that.
