Dragging and Dropping Files in the Stylus Studio

You can open a file in Stylus Studio by dragging the file from the File Explorer (or other file system browsers, like Windows Explorer) and dropping it inside Stylus Studio. How Stylus Studio behaves depends on where you drop the file, as summarized in Table 4.

If You Drop the File Here
Stylus Studio Does This
On the document editor area (when no documents are open)
Opens the document editor associated with the type of file you selected. See Types of Files Recognized by Stylus Studio. If the file type is not currently registered with Stylus Studio, you can register the file at this time using the Choose Module for dialog box. See Opening Unknown File Types.
On the document editor tab area
Opens the document editor associated with the type of file you selected. See Types of Files Recognized by Stylus Studio. If the file type is not currently registered with Stylus Studio, you can register the file at this time using the Choose Module for dialog box. See Opening Unknown File Types.
In an active document
Adds the file's URL to the end of the document.
On another file in the File Explorer
Performs the operation associated with the target file and opens the resulting document in its own editor. For example, you might use this operation to convert a text file to XML by dropping the .txt file on a converter file (.conv).
In a project in the Project window
Adds the file to the project. If the file type is not currently registered with Stylus Studio, you can register the file at this time using the Choose Module for dialog box. See Opening Unknown File Types.
