Enable dragging and dropping of files & folders to Launcher icons.

Description:

1. When a user starts dragging a file or folder, the icons on the launcher which will accept the file type become illuminated, and the icons of apps that do not support the file type become dimmed. Visuals to be supplied.

2. If the file(s) or folder(s) is dropped over the Launcher icon of a application that accepts the file type, the file(s) or folder(s) is accepted by the application and opened/imported in the appropriate manner.

3. If the file(s) or folder(s) is dropped over the Launcher icon of a application that does not accept the file type nothing happens.

4. If a file(s) or folder(s) held over a app icon in the Launcher, a 'spread' of the application windows should open. The user can then drag the file(s) or folder(s) over one of the application windows. Dropping the file(s) or folder(s) loads/imports the file(s) or folder(s) into the selected window.

Note: the development and launch of the interactions outlined in points 1, 2, and 3 should not be delayed if the functionality outlined in point 4 cannot be delivered at the same time because of dependencies relating to the 'spread and workspace' project.
