It's very unintuitive.
I mean, how often do you want to drop a layer into an image vs. dropping a 
bunch of images to be opened? I do zero of the former and thousands of the 
latter.

And also, when the New Image window is the only one visible (when the other 
windows are hidden, etc.)...how would I open two images by dragging and 
dropping?
