I'm trying to figure out what you're doing. I think it's safe to say 
that drag and drop doesn't work. I gather you're using a file utility 
outside Scribus and expecting that to work, but it doesn't, and the 
internal open file dialog in Scribus won't work that way.

Why not just right click on the frame > Get Image from context menu?
