Wow that is a super cool feature! 🤔 I don't think nih-plug has good drag and drop support because of the dependencies but that needs to research to figure out, and every daw and OS for sure handles that differently. But as a back-up, I think the easiest implementation would be to have the same function but as an export for a wav with the file dialog instead drag and drop. I know it loses some of the convenience but it might be all that's possible depending on what I find.

if you want, you could PR functionality upstream

After further research, this seems like a hard thing to implement to mimic exactly what serum is doing. the drag and drop doesn't seem to be an issue internally through egui, but it's the baseview dependency interacting with each OS that is probably the issue here. Right now dragging stuff into a window is not supported other than knowing the name of the file or some details... and dragging out has less support. So this likely needs a change in baseview, maybe egui-baseview, as well as the libraries that interface between each OS's windowing systems. It seems a little out of my league to PR those things unfortunately, but I can most likely figure out an export last sound button as an in-between.

This export via button instead of Drag and Drop is in the latest release now, but I'll leave this issue open to keep in mind for future.
