Umm... It depends on what you mean by that Marc.
SilhouetteFX DragDrop AddonsIf you are talking about a default configuration of Silhouette sure you could claim that. But if you add some free "
SilhouetteFX Python Scripts" GitHub repository based content IMHO your claims wouldn't hold up to scrutiny on that aspect.
Those python scripts unlock automatic DragDrop image loading in Silhouette where you can drag imagery your from your Explorer/Finder/Nautilus desktop folder into the SFX "Trees" view. Media is then loaded into the Sources window with support for instant multi-channel SplitEXR functionality too. The Silhouette node graph's operations are also tweaked with the scripts too.

I've started to port some of the open-source atom packages from the Fusion/Resolve based Reactor package manager so the content works in Silhouette, too. My goal is to make it easier for people to do complex comp work in Fusion Studio, and have some of those same conveniences and QoL (Quality of Life) features in Silhouette when you need to do a whole lot of dedicated Paint/Roto work.
Fusion DragDrop AddonsIf you really like Drag and Drop approaches, in Fusion/Resolve v16.1.1 you should search for the words "DragDrop" in the Reactor package manager for Fusion/Resolve.

There are new goodies in Reactor that unlock some extra DragDrop potential for Fusion .comp, .xyz point clouds, PTGui Pro v10 .pts files, Reactor .atom package files, and more.
With these new Reactor tools you can now drag and drop a Fusion Studio Standalone .comp file right into a Resolve Fusion page Nodes view comp session and it will be imported (concatenated) into your comp in an instant. That's not possible in a stock copy of Resolve where a Media Pool based Fusion comp is orphaned from using the "
File > Import Fusion Composition..." menu item.

https://imgur.com/a/d4NnjB6I'm always amazed by what's possible when a compositing package like Fusion, etc... provides a solid scripting API that let's the end-user customize their workspace and extend a toolset further. Sometimes it feels like the sky's the limit for what is possible.
