How to import image, html and other files into your siteroot

Question

Hi!
I teach basic web development at a highschool. They've been
using GoLive before I came along and they all stuggle to adapt and
understand why DW doesn't support a simple "add" or "import" files
within the program.
And frankly neither do I. For most user new to DW the
intuitive way to add files to the root folder is to:
-Right click the siteroot window (files tab) > add files
-File menu > add/import files
All of these could easily make a duplicate html, png, rar or
whatever file and put it into the site root without leaving the
application. Just a simple adjustment to make life easier for all
DW rookies.
Dont you agree?
Well, until anything changes, the fast way to control your
siteroot folder is still outside DW and in your files/folders of
your OS, right? Or drag and drop files into the site root also
works great.

It doesn't need it. Just copy the files into the root folder
and DW will
see them.

No.

Yes - but you can do it all inside DW too. Note that at the
very top of
your site list in the Files panel you have access to
everything on your hard
drive.... You can copy and paste from that.
