<p>Quick objection regarding path format: Network paths should work, too. If I drop a file from a network share (<a href="\\MY-DEVICE\c\path\to\file.txt" class="OWAAutoLink">\\MY-DEVICE\c\path\to\file.txt</a>) into Squeak, FileStream cannot load this file.
But PNGReadWriter class >> #formFromFileNamed: can load this file. So should the DropPlugin convert the paths or the image?</p>
