UIApplication.DoDragDrop and .tif

[FRFR1426]

It works with .bmp, .jpeg, .jpg and .png, but not with .tif files.

Code to reproduce :

UIApplication.DoDragDrop(new List<string> { "C:\Temp\Test.tif" });

It works if I insert the file with the dedicated command.

Hi,

Importing works fine, but dragging and dropping a tif doesn't. (When using the standard interface.)

Tested in Revit 2014 and 2017. Got 'Failed to open document' error in 2014!!! No error shown in 2017.

Sounds like a bug to me.

Cheers,

-Matt
