Drag ANd Drop From Files Panel No Longer Works Ia Latest Dreamweaver CC

Frustrating... I downloaded the latest release  (Dreamweaver CC) and I was hoping things would get a little better but alas, I can no longer Drag and Drop and image from the File Panel into a page.  I have to go to the menu, look for insert, pick image, then scroll to the image I want and click the mouse.  Painful especially when I have many images to drop!

To make things worse, I can't even drag files from Finder (iMac) onto a page...  I have over 100 images to attempt to put onto a page and now have to manually do the

INSERT > IMAGE > FIND THE IMAGE > Click!

Am I missing something?  Any advice appreciated!  Otherwise, back to the older version!  G-r-r-r-r-r-r

      Just close and reopen the file in question.
      BTY,  I also had the same problem in DW 2015.

        Again I am going to have to retro grade to 2015 DWeave. 

        I need to be able to use this editor fast.  Simply put the drag and drop feature is something that made dweave usable over brackets.

          Hello,

          Drag and drop in code view doesn't work since DW CC 2017.

          Could you let us know in which document view are you trying?

          In Design view, drag and drop works fine.

            Hi Inayal,

            Are there any plans to restore file dragging in Code View?  When it worked, I used it all the time.  A sorely missed feature .

            Hi Nancy and Per,

            We would further want to understand the request of drag and drop in Code view.

            Isn't it easy to simply put cursor in code view and click on element to insert, which is more precise operation rather than dragging and dropping.

            Your inputs will help us understanding scenarios in better way.

            The last version i am aware of in which the functionality you mention worked, was Dw 2015, unless they re-introduced it in a later update to Dw2017, of which i am not aware.
