<h3><a name="Dragging_files_into_the_MainProg"> </a> Dragging files into the <a class="twikiLink" href="MainProgram">Program</a> and <a class="twikiLink" href="Viewer">Viewer</a> windows </h3>
The easiest way to load a file into the <a class="twikiLink" href="MainProgram">Program</a> or the <a class="twikiLink" href="Viewer">Viewer</a> windows is to click on a file icon and dragging it to it's destination.
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/drag_to_program.png" alt="drag_to_program.png" />
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" border="0" alt="TIP" width="16" height="16" />You can drag multiple files from the <a class="twikiLink" href="AssetManager">AssetManager</a> window. Either draw a box around the files, use <strong>SHIFT</strong>, or use <strong>CTRL</strong> when selecting files. When you drop the files in the timeline, they are concatenated. 
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" border="0" alt="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" /> Dragging assets into the <a class="twikiLink" href="MainProgram">Program</a> window depends on the status of <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">InOutPoints</a> and <a class="twikiLink" href="TrackControl">TrackControl</a>. For more information on this topic look at the <a class="twikiLink" href="DragAndDropEditing">Drag &amp; Drop Editing</a> tutorial.

<h3><a name="Other_Notes"> </a> Other Notes </h3>
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" border="0" alt="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" />The behavior of <strong>SHIFT</strong> and <strong>CTRL</strong> changes depending on if the resources are in text or icons.
<ul>
<li> In text mode <code><b>SHIFT-clicking</b></code> on media files extends the number of highlighted selections.
</li>
<li> In text mode <code><b>CTRL-clicking</b></code> on media files  selects additional files one at a time.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> In icon mode <code><b>SHIFT-clicking</b></code> or <code><b>CTRL-clicking</b></code> selects media files one at a time.
</li>
