Dragging and Dropping Files in the Stylus Studio
You can open a file in Stylus Studio by dragging the file from the File Explorer (or other file system browsers, like Windows Explorer) and dropping it inside Stylus Studio. How Stylus Studio behaves depends on where you drop the file, as summarized in Table 4.
