Subject: [PATCH] Fix #44: double-click the Project panel's empty area to
 import
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

As in After Effects, a double-click below the items in the Project panel opens File ▸ Import ▸
File... (rows and the scroll bar keep their own clicks). Dropping files on the window already
imported them; the test now covers both. (On Wayland, winit delivers no file drops at all, so
dragging files in works on X11, macOS and Windows.)
