Dragging in a second file does import (into the same project) as on Windows.

Can anyone comment on Mac behaviour?

The first (main) copy then executes the load and the second one quits. Any volunteers to write an equivalent set of functionality for Linux (may be see how Gimp does this on Linux for inspiration?)
