Agreed. Even better- I love in Chimera1 being able to drag and drop a file into the Chimera icon in my Mac Dock. This is particularly useful for us at AICS because we currently have files scattered throughout thousands of different directories, so once I go through the pain of navigating or searching for one (our software engineering group is working frantically to remedy this 50-person home-grown file-storage system, but not there yet), ChimeraX could offer some pain reduction in the future by reducing those final steps to open.

P.S. On a positive note, I'm loving many aspects of the new interface, especially having access to all of the Volumetric Channels at once!
Added file open by drag and drop on app window or Mac Dock icon.
