This is a minor issue, but somewhat annoying. Under Windows I'm not able to drag/drop files to PixInsight's workspace when the filename contains a '%', which I use quite often to indicate the image scale.

Error message:
*** Error: No such file exists on the local filesystem: C:/Users/ruediger/Pictures/2016/Messier 5/RGB_100%25.tif


The "%" gets url encoded to "%25" and this file of course does not exist.
