That method was fixed as follows in Pharo 8 PasteUpMorph>>#dropFiles: anEvent "Handle a number of dropped files from the OS. TODO: - use a more general mechanism for figuring out what to do with the file (perhaps even offering a choice from a menu) - remember the resource location or (when in browser) even the actual file handle" | numFiles | numFiles := anEvent contents. 1 to: numFiles do: [:i | | aFileReference handler | aFileReference := FileReference requestDropReference: i. handler := ExternalDropHandler lookupExternalDropHandler: aFileReference. handler ifNotNil: [ aFileReference binaryWriteStreamDo: [ :stream | handler handle: stream in: self dropEvent: anEvent ] ]].

Hi,

PasteUpMorph>>dropFiles:

looks wrong in P7.

A Write stream is created while a Read stream is expected.

Result: drag and drop of a sketch file does not work anymore in DrGeo.

Should it be a binary read stream or just a read stream?

With a read stream it works fine for DrGeo, not sure about other.

Enclosed .st of the edited method.

Please, some one with know fill a bug ticket with the proposed fix.

Thanks
