Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2013-03-27 15:02:36 EDT
Using Firefox 20 on Windows 7

1. Create some folder in the Orion Navigator. Drill into it.
2. In Windows explorer, create a file named 'app.js'. Drag and drop it onto the right-hand pane of the Orion navigator. The file is successfully copied in your folder.
3. Now create a file called 'package.json' and try to drop it in the same way. It fails with a message reading:
> Did not drop package.json. Folder drop is not supported in this browser.

The error message is not appropriate here, but I'm more concerned with why the drop failed. It seems to depend on the file extension.

You should be able to drop anything, and if we can't do that, then we should give you an accurate error message.
