As another user, and commenting just as a practical matter, that's a really ... um ... potentially problematic workflow.

 

It's vastly better to have the program open to the project you want to be working in when you import media/assets. From long experience, I don't even recommend dragging from a Finder/Explorer window as that can at times 'miss' some needed extra files/meta, especially for spanned clips & AVCHD and similar files.

 

I've not found that the 'internal' import processes take any more time than launching Explorer, finding the files, and the drag/drop process. So it's not time-saving in any way I can measure.

Hey,

Quick fix at the moment is to downgrade your software.

Good luck.
