[OSX 10.10] Dragging File or Folder onto Brackets displays a file or folder view, instead of opening the file in the editor or the folder as a project

[bchintx]

On latest Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite seed, if I drag a folder from a Finder window onto the Brackets window, then instead of opening the folder as a project, the side panel and editor space disappear and a Finder-like folder view appears instead.

Found while running step (13) of the Brackets smoke tests using installed Brackets Release 40.

Also, per step (14), if I drag a file from a Finder window onto the Brackets window, like the index.html, then that web page opens in the Brackets window.

Note 1: this doesn't happen running Release 40 on my OSX 10.8.5 system.

Note 2: Edge Code CC Preview 8 (based on Brackets Sprint 38) works correctly in 10.10. Dragging a folder onto EC opens the project correctly.

Note 3 : File > Open Folder... to that same folder works fine though.

@bchintx Are you running the CEF version on master, or one of the newer CEF versions we've started testing? (It's suspicious that Edge Code works fine while Brackets doesn't, otherwise).

[bchintx]

@peterflynn I'm running Brackets Release 40 downloaded from brackets.io and Edge Code CC Preview 8 downloaded from creative.adobe.com.

Oddly enough, I went back and installed Brackets Sprint 38, and it has the same problem as 40. However, the problem doesn't appear in EC Preview 8.

@bchintx We haven't shipped the newer CEF version yet - you may look at Jeff's 1916 branch in brackets-shell

@pthiess Great idea. Unfortunately, I'm unable to install/run 'git' on Yosemite -- getting error messages about some tools not available. However, I'll try this again once we either merge 1916 or after a future drop of Yosemite.

Just updated my 10.10 VM w/ the latest Yosemite patch that Apple released today, and I'm no longer able to reproduce the problem. Dragging and dropping the folders now open them correctly as a project within Brackets.

Closing this issue.
