Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I can drag and drop files on article entries but

1. drag and drop onto incollection

does not work.

No response

Here, it worked. JabRef moved the file away somehow.

@InCollection{,
  author = {test},
  title  = {fuu bar},
  file   = {:- Fuu Bar.pdf:PDF},
}

Think, we need more.

Did you press modifier keys? Any special configuration of JabRef (file name generation, ...)?

Does the log say something special?
