Drag and drop not working from vscode

Hi,
I noticed that dragging files from VSCode's Explorer panel into XYplorer always fails with:
"Cannot retrieve dropped contents of 'filename.ext.url'"
Would it be possible to handle this case by parsing the URI and resolving it to the actual local path?
XYplorer 28.20.0500 x64, Windows 11 25H2

1) Do you maybe mean "Failed to get dropped contents of 'filename.ext.url'"?
2) Do you mean this?

Without basic communication skills it won't work. Case closed.
