New bug in 3.30. I can no longer drag art from another program (Album Art Downloader 1.0.5.0 - [Album Art Downloader download | SourceForge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/)) into Mp3tag. Dragging files from File Explorer still works. This used to work in previous versions (confirmed working in 3.29).

> Mp3tag v3.30 released I've just released Mp3tag v3.30 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes: Improvements for Multiple Files with Varying Covers So far, adding a cover to multiple files with varying covers was only possible via a dedicated action and not directly via drag and drop or the right-click context menu on the Tag Panel. This release adds support for adding covers to files with varying covers (also via drag and drop if the Ctrl key is pressed) at Tag Panel and Exte…

I'd missed the note about using CTRL. Thank you, that works!

I've also noticed that some programs don't support move via drag and drop. I changed the behaviour with [Mp3tag v3.30b](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) to use copy instead, if move is not supported — even if Ctrl is not pressed.
