It's currently working with files but not with folders.

Cursor: 0.14.0 Not working with files or folders.

It still works with files for me in 0.14.0.

Ah, you are correct, it is working for me with most file extensions. However, specifically .txt files will not allow drag and drop.

By contrast, with VSCode I am able to drag any file type (from what I've tested) onto the dock icon including .txt.

Even .pdf's and other generally unreadable file extensions work for drag and drop with VSCode but not with Cursor.

I find the lack of drag and drop feature a crucial roadblock to transitioning fully to cursor from vscode. Hope this gets prioritized more. Thanks!

Cursor is a based on VSCode. VSCode supports drag-and-drop functionality, enabling users to directly open local folders within the IDE.

The implementation of this feature appears to be in the code within the src/vs/workbench/browser/dnd.ts file at the following URL, which processes drag-and-drop events and handles the opening of folders🤔

It still doesn’t work in version 0.37.1. This small change could have a big impact. I hope it’s implemented soon.

The cursor team, are removing core quality of life feature from vscode, all we want is the same functionalities as vscode with the AI, please stop removing core features.
