Description

Queries picture from drag and drop action.
Call this function in the drag action script. This can be a direct picture drag or a file drag where we load the picture file.

Added Windows support for version 10.3 to get JPEG, PNG and GIF. The type depends on content, so image type and index parameters are ignored there.
