I added support for .bin files imported as CD-ROM URLs only. Do you think people will also expect to use them dragged in files?

I honestly don't know but I would think about as much as with URL yes. The reason being usually the .bin/.cue fileset are zipped so unless IM supports zipped .bin/.cue filesets, there are some chances one will expect it to work by dragging the extracted .bin manually to IM.

Though, I consider .bin/.cue (and .bin/.toc) files to be pretty rare to begin with as it's only good for games or multimedia disks that contain audio tracks. Also, it's not like it's hard to convert the .bin from a .bin/.cue file set to a .iso using ISO programs such as PowerISO anyway (literally 2 mouse clicks and less than 5 seconds wait for a 600MB CD image).

Hello - I came across this project ripping some Mac related CDs from MacAddict and MacHome (bin/cue). The MacHome CD in particular I have no idea whats on it. I am uploading it to the Internet Archive and was looking for an easy way to just spin up the disc and see whats on it to provide a description for the upload. I saw your software can load via URL for now so I'll just upload it and then try to load it via the URL. I just wanted to provide a use case for drag and dropping a bin file. This is a cool project!
