## Summary - Set `dragDropEnabled: false` on the Tauri window so HTML5 drag events reach the WebView. Previously the default `true` made Tauri intercept all drag-drop at the OS level, silently breaking in-page drag-to-reorder (Pragmatic Drag and Drop in `FileEditorThumbnail` / `useFileItemDragDrop`) in the desktop build. The Active Files tab reorder, which feeds Merge ordering, was the user-visible symptom. - Browser builds are unaffected (tauri.conf.json is desktop-only). - The OS file-drop pipeline now flows through the existing Mantine `Dropzone` in `FileEditor.tsx` via HTML5 events instead of the Rust `WindowEvent::DragDrop` handler in `lib.rs:215`. Verified working. ## Test plan - [x] Desktop: drag a thumbnail in Active Files past another - row goes semi-transparent, order updates on drop. - [x] Desktop: drag a PDF from File Explorer onto the window - file is added. - [x] Web build: drag-to-reorder still works (unchanged code path; flag is desktop-only). - [x] Merge tool: order set by drag in Active Files is the order used by the merge output. ## Follow-up (not in this PR) - `WindowEvent::DragDrop` arm in `frontend/editor/src-tauri/src/lib.rs:215-229` is now unreachable for window drops. The `forward_files_to_window` helper still serves the macOS Finder "Open With" path (`RunEvent::Opened` at lib.rs:230), so only the DragDrop arm can be deleted. Worth a small cleanup pass later.
