Still sussing out my inter-ops ...
I find that I can drag a set of chords out of Scaler2 to a .mid file on the desktop:
and then I can do a File -> Import to a Synfire Progression:
Nice!
My question is - Is there anyplace in Synfire where I could drag that .mid file into directly?
Alternatively, Is there anyplace in Synfire where I could drag directly from Scaler itself into Synfire? (bypassing the file-save-to-desktop part entirely)
Put another way, is it possible to trigger the File -> Import procedure (for a .mid file) via drag-and-drop?
Thanks.

Synfire is only marginally aware of things that are dragged from the outside and hover over its windows. Therefore you dont see much visual feedback. Although you can drop a midi file and the import dialog will pop up.

Hi As Housekeeper said you can drag from Scaler direct to Synfire and a pop up window turns up as you do when you make a midi import. Then you have to select the midi file and click import.
You can drag the same way from Apps like Toontracks EZbass, EZKeys and EZdrum very handy!
