Description Danny 2015-10-12 03:14:50 UTC
I'm sorry if this is filed with the wrong priority, but I find it to be a fairly major annoyance that often causes crashes so I filed it as normal.

Dragging a folder to main area opens a tab for each file in the folder, even if there are dozens, and even if those files aren't text files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag a folder with a few dozen files to main area
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It opens them all and possibly crashes if there is too many files.

Expected Results:  
A "Do you want to open xxx# of tabs" confim dialog, or just an option to turn off the feature of opening entire folders that way because I suspect quite a few people would like to turn it off.

There is now a dialog that asks if you really want to open all files in the dropped directory.
