GenericDropHandlerBase

A generic helper base class for making a drop handler with a preference list of custom types. This is the base for TextDropHandler and FilesDropHandler and you can use it for your own droppers too.

It assumes the whole window it used, but you can subclass to change that.

This is not yet stable and may break in future versions without notice.
class GenericDropHandlerBase : DropHandler {}
