Drag between Script Window ability

[Owen Arnold]

This issue was a suggestion by Emanuel. Reassign as appropriate after checking the validity of this issue.

Should be able to drag a workspace directly out of the workspace list and into the script window.

[Nick Draper]

So for the script window

1. workspaces -> import statement
2. file -> load if text
3. text -> paste

To test:

1. try draging various things onto the script window (not the interpreter), include text, py files, workspaces from the workspace toolbox
2. images, none py files should not work
3. try mixtures of files

This works fine on Windows.

Linux:

• Workspaces work OK
• Python scripts just show a file path: ​file:///location/to/script.py

OS X:

• Python scripts aren't recognized
• Workspaces come out as: Workspace::workspace_name instead of workspace_name = mtd['workspace_name']

I've tried this out on OSX 10.8 and it is working fine for me. Everything apart from *.py files may be dragged onto the scripting window. Python files dragged onto the scripting window execute as one would expect. Even handles the case that I load the file, delete the original and then save as one would expect.

put in for retest

Don't accept events that have URLs in ScriptEditor drag/drop.
