[Bf-funboard] Append Asset (by Drag&Drop) via File Browser Editor

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi,

Yep, that kind of feature is part of my plan regarding assets 
development in Blender. Unfortunately, am still deep in low-level 
reworks of core code that are mandatory to be finished before we can 
resume and finish high-level work like asset engines, and whole UI 
around it. ;)

Kind regards,
Bastien
