idea / problem
In the Herdr macOS app (0.1.13, macOS 26.7.2), dragging a file or screenshot from Finder onto a terminal pane does nothing. In Ghostty, iTerm2 and Terminal.app the same drop pastes the file's path at the prompt, and #5486 describes image drops onto panes already working in another setup, so the gap seems specific to the app window.
The usual way to hand a coding agent like Claude Code a screenshot is to drag it into the terminal. In the app I have to copy the file in Finder and paste, or put the image on the clipboard and press Ctrl+V.
requested change
When files from Finder are dropped onto a terminal pane in the Herdr app, paste their shell-quoted absolute paths into that pane, the same way other macOS terminals do. For remote panes, the existing image-drop behaviour (upload, paste the remote path) would apply.
why you want this
I give agents screenshots many times a day. Dragging them in is the habit I bring from Ghostty and Orca, where it works, so in Herdr I keep reaching for it and nothing happens.
