The big problem is that dragging a file to Emacs on NS inserts the contents of 
that file to the current buffer instead of opening it as people normally 
expect, and indeed is what all other Emacs versions does.  It is like that in 
Emacs 23 also, so this is not a regression. But as we are in a feature freeze 
this will have to wait, even if the behaviour is stupid.  If Emacs would open 
dragged files in a new buffer, images would be shown as images.
