Description

Sometimes I have a Finder window open in the directory where I build or download databases, and it would be quicker to drag and drop from there onto VS Code to import the database, than to browse to that directory from VS Code.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be supported at the moment.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate VS Code's drag and drop API (TreeDragAndDrop, TextDocumentContentProvider) and the existing import flow in vscode codeql. Look for existing drag drop handlers or import commands to integrate.
