No

If a PDF is dragged into the main table, a new entry is created, but an
editor window does not open even if "Edit imported publications" is
checked in preferences.

If a PDF is dragged onto a group, a new entry is created, but an editor
window does not open and the entry created is not assigned to that
group.

If a PDF is dragged onto the preview pane or onto the BibDesk icon in the
dock, nothing happens. (I would expect it to create a new entry in the
latter case and open an editor window; don't know about the former case,
maybe nothing is the right behavior)

    That sucks. I checked in a fix for the editor creation
    problem, but now we'll revert to bad beachballs
    when undoing a large delete.

    For dropping a file on the dock icon, that's typically
    only something that works with files you can edit. I
    guess Mail does that, but it only has a single
    "document" to add to. What would expected
    behavior be for BibDesk with multiple documents?

    Good point about the dock icon. If multiple .bib files are open, there would be
    no way of knowing which to put it in anyway.
