Bug Description
Dragging new (tiff) images into a hugin project does not work if the "add images" dialog (which is called during a very different workflow) is set to File type: RAW.
Reason: if this selector is set to e.g. RAW then dragging TIFF or other file types to the Photos list doesn't work (no images are added, and there is also no error message).
So the file type selector in the "add images" dialog should always default to "All image files".
That filter only makes sense when using that dialog, not for a drag and drop workflow.
Also on Mac that selector is usually hidden behind an "options" button (at least that is the behavior of osx 10.11, so it is not self explanatory why some image files are greyed out.
On Mac it is a typical user behaviour to select files from a finder window (i.e. a directory) and drag those files to the open application window. There is no easy way to find out why images are not digested or where one needs to setup such a filter.
Observed with Hugin Version: 2019.2.
OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6

There must be something other going wrong: adding files via the add file dialog has an different code path than using drag'n drop. So setting the file filter in the dialog has no effect on the drag action. I tested on my machine: dropping raw or tif or tiff files works fine here.
Concerning the select file dialog: this is the default behavior on Mac. You should observe a similar behavior also in other programs. I can't change this, so you would have to report this to Apple.
