Public bug reported:

Dragging new (tiff) images into a hugin project does not work if the
"add images" dialog (which is called during a very different workflow)
is set to File type: RAW.

Reason: if this selector is set to e.g. RAW then dragging TIFF or other
file types to the Photos list doesn't work (no images are added, and
there is also no error message).

So the file type selector in the "add images" dialog should always
default to "All image files".

That filter only makes sense when using that dialog, not for a drag and drop workflow.
Also on Mac that selector is usually hidden behind an "options" button (at least that is the behavior of osx 10.11, so it is not self explanatory why some image files are greyed out.

On Mac it is a typical user behaviour to select files from a finder
window (i.e. a directory) and drag those files to the open application
window. There is no easy way to find out why images are not digested or
where one needs to setup such a filter.
