Heh. I didn't know that I could drag and drop as you describe. Here are
some other ways of importing files:

-  The import-file command calls *c.importAnyFile*. This method contains
various special cases. Maybe some of those cases are dubious.
- Create an empty @<file> node and do *refresh-from-disk*.
- Create an @button node to do exactly as you please with
*c.recursiveImport.*

I don't think consistency between these ways is all that important.
