My MacOS version of Emacs inserts contents of the file into current buffer instead of opening it as a new buffer. I want it to open a new buffer on file drag-and-drop, any idea how to fix that?

GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.35)

    You can set drag and drop to do anything you want by binding ns-drag-file. It will of course be a different event on different platforms. Perhaps surprisingly you can find this by C-h k and then dragging a file to emacs.
