Awesome. Can you think of a way to implement registerForDraggedTypes?

Why? Webview’s are already registered for all types..

In my mind it would be useful to limit the receivable file types in most cases? For example, say the MacGap app is a Markdown editor; you only really want to accept dropped markdown files and ignore anything else, rather than allowing the drop and then deciding you don't want it.

It's a fine point, probably a future enhancement. I'm perhaps more interested in your input on how such a thing should be done in MG2. Would the array of allowed types go in the config file?

There’s actually no need to do this, you can handle it all from JS. Putting something like that in would just mean someone would have to add/configure extra parameters, rather than just discarding what they don’t need when someone drops a file(s). As it stands right now since drag and drop is disabled, users have to preventDefault on the dragover and drop events anyway to avoid having the file replace the contents of the webview, adding that just seems like an unnecessary step IMO.
