So I recently switched over to the Windows version of Shapr3d from Mac and there are two features i’d like added to the app that I was able to set on Mac.

1. Drag and drop files into the application. I’m not sure if this is a limitation on Windows. I was used to being able to grab a file and drop it on the application on Mac to have it open. Now having to go into the file → import is one extra step. While not the end of the world would be nice to have again.

2. Set Shapr3d as default for different file types. I couldn’t seem to find away in system settings or in the application settings to make Shapr3d the default application to open different file types. It would be nice to be able to set Shapr3d as the default to open .STEP files, .DWG etc.

Thanks for the suggestions, these would indeed be useful. They’re already on our mid-term backlog, though I can’t commit to a delivery date right now.
