Re: [QGIS-Developer] Open plugin automatically when file is dragged onto QGIS
You can use an eventfilter. You can find an example here https://github.com/opengisch/QgisModelBaker/blob/master/QgisModelBaker/qgismodelbaker.py#L507C7-L552 However, it may be appropriate to have a setting for this. In the plugin mentioned above, the user is asked if they want to open this type of file always with this plugin in the future.

[QGIS-Developer] Open plugin automatically when file is dragged onto QGIS
Hello all, I would like a feature within QGIS so that when files with ".xyz" extension are dragged onto the application, would make my plugin to open automatically. This can prevent the user from having to go to the File menu and open the file. This is similar to when shapefiles are dragged onto QGIS, and the shapefiles are automatically loaded and displayed in QGIS. Except, dragging a file with a ".xyz" extension should result in my plugin (a dialog box from then plugin) to open. Is there a setting I can configure?
