Idea: Add Drag And Drop in OBS Sources

[Darketernal]

So, at this moment, let's say you have a picture that you want to add to your sources in OBS, you can't just easily drag n drop it, you have to select from folder, go to the exact location and it's quite a pain that could be prevented if you could just drop media files in the sources that you want to add. I'm not sure why this hasn't been added yet, since it would make life so much easier.

Works for me. Pretty much exactly as you describe. Drag a JPG (I had one handy) from the OS-native file browser into OBS, and drop it in the Sources dock. Now I have an Image source with that file. OBS 30.2.3 on Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS.

I seem to remember it working on Windows 10 too, but I'm a bit foggy on that. I replaced that rig with Ubuntu Studio 24.04 LTS.
