Hot-keys and drag and drop actions

Drag and drop actions:

  1. One can drag and drop a box from one cell to the other. If there is path then man will push that box to it's new location.
  2. Drag and drop file with collection (or single level) to the YSokoban window (drag it from windows explorer to the YSokoban). This will select this collection in YSokoban for play.
  3. Drag and drop file with skin over YSokoban. In that case YSokoban will use that skin to show current level.
