Description

When I try to drag-and-drop a file (e.g. a shape file or a Mapinfo tab file) into the layer manager I get the message "The layer is not a valid layer and can not be added to the map". This makes it seem like I should be able to drag files in... but for some reason it doesn't work.

Dragging and dropping both vectors (shapes) and rasters into the legend works for me under both linux and windows with qgis trunk.
