Drag file onto string field in the inspector

[Dukembg]

I'm pretty noob here, and searched all over to see if anyone has suggested this.

Since you can drag files into GD script as a way to copy its path, I feel like this should also be true when dragging a file over a string field in the inspector. Also, I noticed that Godot has a super awesome UID string for each file that can really save a dev when major changes happen in a project and was wondering why not just use the UID by default?

Untitled.1.mp4

You can already do that with a NodePath field.

It doesn't seem to work with the files, only what's in the tree hierarchy.

This is supported, you need to use @export_file annotation. It also has functionality to filter files and adds file open dialog next to the text field. Check docs: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/scripting/gdscript/gdscript_exports.html#strings-as-paths

So for your example the correct way would be:

@export_file("*.tscn") var any_scene : String

Perfect!
