Hi guys!  
I would my application be able to open a folder dropped into it and to reach all the contained files.  
How could I do this?  
Is this possible?

Thank to all of you!

You can inherit [FileDragAndDropTarget](https://www.juce.com/doc/classFileDragAndDropTarget) and override the `virtual void filesDropped (const StringArray &files, int x, int y)` callback.  
This can be only a certain component, or the MainContentComponent.
