Hi Johanna,

(At least for me) that depends what I’m dropping.

If it’s a file type with a single geometry it goes straight in.
For example shp or a zip file with a single shape file inside

If it’s a file type with multiple geometries or a container with multiple 
possibilities then you’ll get asked.
For example GPX or zip file with shape and explanatory pdf inside (because 
there isn’t an obvious way of telling if the pdf is georeferenced and you might 
then want to load it).

Does that help?

Ramon.
