I'm having this problem too. Also on Windows x64.

The only method I have found to insert an image is if I insert via the clipboard, i.e. screen shot tool (like SnagIt) or copy/paste from Photoshop, however, transparency is not kept.

Same problem here.

same for me. v 1.2 build 0

I'm having the same issue on 1.3.4, any work around?

I'm facing the same problem on Windows 7 x64

This is because the Pencil app was run as administrator, so the drag-and-drop functionality doesn't work anymore.

The solution by dmachiav...@gmail.com works Thanks !!

this is unbelievable, an issue entered on 8th august 2010 is still un resolved on june 6th 2013!

I found a workaround that helped me in Windows 8.1 running pencil 2.0.5. 1) Run pencil normally (which I think by default runs it as administrator). 2) Launch Windows file explorer as administrator using these steps: 2a) Run command prompt as administrator: Press windows key + S to search for a program, type cmd, right-click on "Command Prompt" and click "Run as administrator". 2b) At the prompt, type "explorer" without quotes and hit enter. 3) Go to the folder containing your image. Dragging and dropping now works, including transparency!

drag and drop only jpg work. Not jpeg, png. Only *.JPG. Change de extension jpeg to jpg and work!.
