Yeah... That never worked on Windows or OSX and we lost it with the port to Qt5. I'm trying to make a short, simple and cross-platform solution.

I just updated my system and built 3.0 Fresh (02fefaaf1fa6aefc3f24a42ded3734fe47c34c2f) - still not working, tho it behaves differently now.

 - If I drop on the canvas it asks if I want to insert as new layer or new document, but after selecting either, Krita asks me to chose a RAW filter, even though the image is a JPEG. Choosing any filter crashes Krita.
 - If I drop on the empty area of the tab bar for tagged documents in Krita (that used to open images as new document), I get the same "does not exist" error as before.

You have to make really sure that you're d&d'ing an image and not a html page.

Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2016-03-19 08:19:04 UTC

That means that most of the images you see, which are actual links to somethings else cannot be drag&dropped; the drop event then contains an url to the place where the image links to, and not the image.

I tested with images found in Google image search, after opening the image directly with "view image". I thought that is supposed to open the file itself.

Neither of these images can be drag and dropped:
