Description
Feature Suggestion
Currently you have to open files via the File Open dialog once Raven is launched. It would be great if we could add drag & drop support for OTIO files. The file could be opened whenever someone drags a new OTIO file onto the main window.

Research direction
Start by locating Raven's main window and the existing File Open dialog path for OTIO files. Trace how a selected file reaches the viewer, then verify that dropping an OTIO file onto the main window opens it and that the existing file-opening behavior remains unchanged.
